Choose My Plate Basics

How to manage portion sizes…

The USDA’s ChooseMyPlate.gov gives you an idea of how to manage portion sizes, balance calories and enjoy food, while eating less. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. At least half your grains should be whole grains. Use fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
