Did you hear?

There are new Food Guidelines.  They no longer are using the Food Guide Pyramid as the recommended daily guidelines.  Now it is called: Choose My Plate. 

Here are the new guidelines:

Balancing Calories

● Enjoy your food, but eat less.
● Avoid oversized portions.

Foods to Increase
● Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
● Make at least half your grains whole grains.
● Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.

Foods to Reduce
● Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals - and choose the foods with lower numbers.
● Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

Makes sense, I think.  I like the simplicity of it.  For those visual learners...
