Food Pyramid
Grains
-Grains have the most recommended servings per day.
-Grains can be found at the very bottom of the food pyramid.
-6-11 servings per day.
-These foods provided complex carbohydrates.-Carbohydrates are an important source of energy.
-Whole grains are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber
Grains
Examples of one serving:- 1 slice of bread- Half cup of rice, cooked cereal or pasta- 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal
Tommy & BlaireListen carefully so you can answer the
question.
Tommy:• Can you remember what carbohydrates
are a good source of? (energy)
Blaire:• Where on the pyramid are grains found?
(bottom layer)
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and Vegetables are rich in different nutrients. They are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, or potassium.
Vegetables:-Serving size 3 to 5-Low in fat and sodium, but high in fiber.Fruits:-Serving size 2 to 4-Important source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium.-Low in sodium, which helps those with high blood
pressure.
Fruits and Vegetables
Vegetable examples of one serving:-1 cup of raw leafy vegetables-1/2 cup of other vegetables (cooked/raw)-3/4 cup of vegetable juiceFruit examples of one serving:-1 medium apple, orange, or banana-1/2 cup of chopped/cooked/canned fruit-3/4 cup of fruit juice
Sarah & BobbyListen carefully so you can answer the
question.
Sarah: • Vegetables are low in fat and sodium, but
high in what? (fiber)
Bobby:• How many servings of fruit should we eat in 1
day? (2-4 servings)
Meats & Beans
-Meat, poultry, and fish supply protein, iron, and zinc.
-Non-meat foods such as dried peas and beans provide some of the same nutrients as meats.
-Serving size 2 to 3 of cooked meat, fish, or poultry.
-Each serving should be approximately 2 to 3 ounces.
-Suggested to choose lean meat, fish, and dried beans because they are low in fat.
-Avoid frying foods and eat in moderation!

meat, fish, and poultry? (2-3 servings)

to equal 2-3 servings of meat? (2-3 eggs)
Dairy
-Milk products provide protein, vitamins, minerals, and especially calcium.
-Serving size 2 to 3-Three servings per day are recommended if

Activity-Students will determine their recommended caloric
intake.-Factors include: age, sex, size, activity level-Each student will receive a worksheet with the
following information provided:The National Academy of Sciences recommends the
following calorie categories:1,600 calories - Many sedentary women and some older
adults2,200 calories - Children, teenage girls, active women
and many sedentary men 2,800 calories - Teenage boys, active men and very
active women
