Document Summary

Myplate is a tool that can be used to create a nutritious diet. Reflects the recommendations found in the 2010 dietary guidelines. The plate is divided into four parts: fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein: define energy density and nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods = provide vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial substances and relatively few calories without. A food containing a relatively high amount of nutrients compared to its caloric content. Retain naturally occurring components, such as dietary fiber. Most foods are nutrient dense when prepared without solid fats or sugars. Energy-dense foods = lots of calories in a small volume. Energy density" is the amount of energy (or calories) per gram of food. Lower energy density foods provide less energy per gram of food so you can eat more of them without consuming too many calories: describe how physical activity influences an individual"s myplate empty calorie recommendations. Only 5-15% of calories from sofas can be accommodated in healthy diets.
