What servings are recommended for a balanced diet?
A healthy diet consists of four main categories of foods — of course there are some other minor groups. But these four main food groups will provide a healthy diet the bulk of its nutrition. They are vegetables and fruits, grain products, milk products, and meats and alternatives. A healthy diet will serve a good balance of each of the food groups listed. Of course, different individuals will need different amounts of food. Other factors such as age, body size, activity level, and gender will also affect the amount of food you eat. Below is a guide to provide you with a general idea of how much from each group you should serve for a healthy diet.
