Main Page> Nutrition> General Nutrition I recommend a simple nutritional plan: Eat the number of recommend servings from each of the 4 food groups every day. Eat until you feel satisfied but not full. Don't let yourself get hungry. Try to incoporate food from at least 3 of the food groups at every meal. It's better to eat 4-5 smaller meals per day than 3 big ones. The table below indicates each of the 4 food groups, the recommended number of servings from each per day, and samples of food from each of the food groups. Food Group Number of Servings 1 Serving Size Samples Bread and Grains 5-12 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup of cooked pasta, 1/2 cup of rice, 1/2 cup of cereal Milk Products 2-4 (may require more for young children or pregnant women) 1 cup of milk, 3/4 cup of yogurt Fruits and Vegetables 5-10 (try 2-3 fruits and 3-7 veggies) 1 raw fruit, 1 cup of salad, 1 carrot, 1/2 cup of brocoli Meat 2-3 1 egg, 1/2 cup of tofu, 75g of chicken breast Whenver possible, try to choose more "natural" foods. Whole grain breads are better than white, fresh fruits and veggies are better than canned, food prepared yourself is better than pre-packaged.
