FROM THE MYPlate GRAIN GROUP
The MyPlate Grains Group
• The Grains Group includes any food made
from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley
or another cereal grain. Bread, pasta,
oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas and
grits are examples of grain products.
Grains are divided into two subgroups—
whole grains such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal
and brown rice—and nutrient-enriched
refined grains such as white bread
and white rice.
• Foods in the Grains Group provide important
nutrients such as B vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Whole grains may help reduce the risk for heart
disease and some cancers and help with weight
management. Enriched refined grains are fortified with
the B vitamin folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects
during pregnancy and possibly heart attacks and strokes.
They can contain twice as much folic acid as whole grains.
The small steps to the right can help you make nutrient-rich
choices from MyPlate’s Grains Group. This means getting the
most vitamins, minerals and other nutrients—but not too
many calories—from the foods you choose.

LIVE WELL! oils and solid fats
making smart choices
Did you know your body needs some fat for good health?
Dietary fats help your body absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K,
and carotenoids. They supply essential fatty acids that children
need for proper growth. For all of us, fats help keep our skin
healthy and brain and nervous system functioning smoothly.
MyPlate advice refers to two forms of fat in foods—oils and
solid fats. Oils and solid fats are a mixture of saturated fatty
acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Oils contain more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Solid fats contain
more saturated fats and/or trans fats than oils. Most foods
contain varying amounts of the different types of fats. For
instance, olive oil and salmon are rich sources of heart-healthy
monounsaturated fats but also contain some saturated fats,
while beef, pork and poultry are often thought of as only
containing saturated fat but are also rich sources of monounsaturated fats.
MyPlate recommends choosing foods that contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and cutting back
on foods that contain saturated fats and trans fats. The
important point to understand is that you can’t single out
one food or type of fat, because all foods with fat contain a
mixture of the different types of fats. The trick is to choose
foods with oils and solid fats wisely and in the right amounts
for you.
MyPlate meal plans include daily recommended amounts
for oils because they provide essential fats, but oils are not
pictured in the MyPlate symbol as they are not a food group.
A Primer on Oils
Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature. Oils include
vegetable oils used in cooking, the oil found naturally in
certain foods such as nuts, olives, avocados and some fish,
and in foods made with oil such as mayonnaise, salad dressing
and soft (tub or squeeze) margarine.
Most oils are high in monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats,
and low in saturated fats. Most of the fats you eat should be
the unsaturated types. They provide vitamin E, don’t raise LDL
(“bad”) cholesterol levels in the blood and contain essential
fatty acids. Oils from plant sources (vegetable oils and nut
oils) do not contain any cholesterol. A few plant oils, however,
including coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil, are high
in saturated fats and act like solid fats.
MyPlate gives you a daily allowance for oils depending on
your daily calorie budget, which is based on your age,
gender and physical activity level. For example, for someone
who needs 2,000 calories a day, MyPlate recommends 6
teaspoons of oil a day. Check the chart below for the amount
of oils in some common foods.

mainly oil and are not considered to be part of any food group.

LIVE WELL! oils and solid fats
MAKING SMART CHOICES
Go Slow with Solid Fats
Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter and shortening, and are mostly a mix of saturated or trans
fats. Solid fats are found in animal foods as well as many baked goods such as pastries, cookies and pies, and can be made
from vegetable oils through a process called hydrogenation. Most saturated fats raise both “bad” and “good” cholesterol
levels in the blood. However, not all saturated fats act the same. An example of a type of saturated fat that does not affect
blood cholesterol levels is stearic acid, which is found in meat and chocolate.
Trans fats raise “bad” cholesterol levels in the blood, but have no effect on “good” cholesterol levels. There are two types
of trans fats—man-made and naturally occurring. Man-made trans fats found in snack foods and baked goods such as
cookies, crackers, donuts, and pastries act very differently than those that occur naturally in low amounts in meat, dairy
products, cabbage and peas. While man-made trans fats have been found to increase the risk of heart disease, naturally
occurring trans fat have been shown to have heart-healthy and cancer-protective benefits and may reduce the risk of diabetes.
Make Smart Oil Changes
• Choose a cooking oil that is high in unsaturated fats.
Some good choices are canola, corn, cottonseed, olive,
peanut, safflower, soybean and sunflower oil.
• Use soft (tub or squeeze) margarine with
0 grams of trans fat per serving. Check the
Nutrition Facts label to be sure.
• Try a slice of mashed avocado as a sandwich spread.
• Add flair to your food with a dash of
flavorful walnut or sesame oil.
• Get essential fatty acids called “omega-3s” from fatty
fish, such as salmon, trout and herring. MyPlate advises
including fish on the menu twice each week.
• Sprinkle a few sunflower seeds or
chopped walnuts on your salad.
Get Savvy about Solid Fats
• Use vegetable oil or cooking spray instead of butter,
stick margarine or shortening for cooking and baking.
• Choose lean meats and skinless poultry.
Trim away visible fat from meat before
cooking and remove poultry skin.
• When choosing milk, yogurt and cheese,
go fat-free or lowfat.
• When you shop for baked goods such as cookies and
crackers, check the Nutrition Facts label for products
with 0 grams of trans fat per serving.
© 2012, Nutrient Rich Foods Coalition. May be duplicated for instructional purposes.
Fascinating Fat Facts
• Oils and solid fats both contain about 120
calories per tablespoon. So, although you
need some oils for good health, don’t overdo it.
• Get to know heart healthy fats. While olive oil
may be known for containing heart-healthy
monounsaturated fats, the same holds true for
beef and pork. In fact, about half the fat in pork
and beef is monounsaturated. Likewise, milk,
cheese and yogurt products contain this
heart-healthy fat as well.
• Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a special
type of trans fat that may promote health.
Small amounts are found naturally in milk
products, lamb and beef. Research is showing
that CLA may play a role in preventing disease
such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
• A few plant oils, including coconut oil,
palm oil and palm kernel oil are high in
saturated fats, so MyPlate
classifies them as solid fats.

LIVE WELL! EATING THE NUTRIENT-RICH WAY
ON THE GO
It’s easy to eat the nutrient-rich way—even when you’re in a time crunch. This means getting the most vitamins, minerals and

LIVE WELL! EATING AWAY FROM HOME
THE NUTRIENT-RICH WAY
Many people purchase and eat at least one meal away from home each day. Whether you’re at the drive-through window,
the office cafeteria or a fine dining restaurant, you can eat the nutrient-rich way. This means getting the most vitamins, minerals
and other nutrients—but not too many calories—from the foods you choose. It’s easy to do when you make choices like these.
At the Fast Food Place…
• Small burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches
topped with lettuce, tomato and onion
(hold the mayo or special sauce).
• Roasted veggie wraps.
• Entrée salads with grilled
chicken and low-calorie dressing.
• Bean burritos or grilled steak tacos
with avocado and lots of lettuce and tomato.
• Thin-crust pizzas made with tomatoes,
spinach, mushrooms and onions.
• Baked potatoes topped with
broccoli or beef chili and a sprinkling
of shredded cheese.
• Yogurt parfaits made with
strawberries and blueberries.
• Bags of sliced apples or cups
of fresh fruit or Mandarin oranges.

muffin with peanut butter or
a slice of lowfat cheese.
• Omelet filled with tomatoes,
mushrooms and spinach
(or any veggie) paired with toast.
• Vegetable, bean, split pea or lentil soup.
• Lean roast beef, ham or turkey sandwich piled high
with veggies on whole-grain bread. Add zing, but
almost no calories, with horseradish or spicy mustard.
• Steamed veggies sprinkled with
shredded cheese or sliced almonds.
• A salad bar creation of dark greens and other
colorful veggies, avocado slices, sunflower
seeds and fruit. Top with lowfat dressing.
• Fat-free or lowfat regular or flavored milk
or 100% orange juice.
When Dining Out…
• Minestrone soup, gazpacho or crudités (raw veggies).
• Salads made with deep greens such as spinach,
arugula and romaine lettuce.
• Lean entrees such as beef sirloin,
pork tenderloin, skinless turkey breast,
fish or seafood. Ask for sauces on the side.

LIVE WELL!
FITTING IN “FUN” FOODS
Eating the nutrient-rich way doesn’t mean that “fun” foods such as favorite snacks, desserts—or even indulgent meals—
are off-limits. Here’s why:
Everyone has a daily calorie budget based on their age,
gender and physical activity level. In a healthy eating
plan, most of that calorie budget is spent first on
nutrient-rich foods, which give you the most vitamins,
minerals and other nutrients for the fewest calories.
USDA's MyPlate refers to the calories from solid fats and
added sugars as "empty calories" because they add
calories to the food but few or no nutrients, including
vitamins, minerals, protein or fiber. When nutrient-rich
forms of foods are chosen first, there may be a small
amount of extra calories left to spend on “fun” foods.
The extra calories can also be used for foods within food
groups that contain solid fats or added sugars, such as
cuts of meat marbled with fat, vegetables
topped with butter or margarine, or
sweetened cereals.
To help you maintain a balanced
lifestyle, remember to keep empty
calories low, get your quota of nutrient-rich foods and
be active. Follow the tips here to eat the nutrient-rich
way and fit in fun favorites, too.
Build your daily eating plan on a variety of nutrient-rich
foods first, including:
• Variety of colorful fruits and 100% fruit juices
• Variety of vibrantly colored vegetables, including dark
green vegetables, starchy vegetables, red-orange
vegetables, beans and peas, and other vegetables
• Whole, enriched and fiber-rich grain foods
• Low-fat and fat-free milk, cheese, and yogurt
• Lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds
Be wise about portion size. Trimming portion
sizes of foods with extra fats and sugars helps you enjoy
them without overdoing it.
• When dining out, savor a serving of prime rib that’s
about the size of a deck of cards. Share
the rest or take it home for another meal.
• Eat one less slice of pizza than usual.
• Enjoy a single scoop of ice cream instead
of a double.
• Slice a skinnier piece of cake or pie.
• Use one pat of butter or margarine instead of two.
Use simple swaps to save calories. Saving
some calories from extra fats and sugars lets you spend
them on favorite foods elsewhere in your eating plan.
• Top salads with low-calorie salad dressing
instead of regular salad dressing.
• Try light versions of cream cheese and sour cream
or swap for plain fat-free or lowfat yogurt.
• Exchange a sweetened soft drink for a
no-calorie version.
• Use a sugar substitute on cereal and in coffee.
Be physically active each day. The more you
move, the bigger your calorie budget and the
more likely you are to maintain a healthy weight.
For good health and to burn calories, total at least
30 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity
each day. More is even better!
• Walk, bike or skate everywhere you can—to work,
to the store, to a friend’s house—or around the block.
• Volunteer for household jobs like vacuuming, washing
windows, gardening, raking leaves or shoveling snow.
• Take an aerobics, spinning, weight-lifting or Pilates class.
• Join the office softball or bowling team or go
out dancing.
• Schedule family “activity time.” Walk after
dinner, enjoy the neighborhood playground
or play a game in your own backyard.
Tip: To plan, analyze, and track your
food and physical activity, go to
ChooseMyPlate.gov/supertracker.

LIVE WELL! THE NUTRITION FACTS LABEL…
YOUR GUIDE TO NUTRIENT-RICH FOODS
The Nutrition Facts label is your guide to making the most nutrient-rich food choices while staying within your daily calorie
budget. You’ll find it on most packaged foods in the supermarket and frequently on posters and in brochures for fresh foods
such as produce, fish and meat.
Here’s what the Nutrition Facts label shows you:
Serving Size
The serving size for this food is one package. All the nutrition numbers listed are
based on this amount. Compare the serving size to the amount you eat and adjust
the numbers as needed. For example, if you ate only half the package of this food,
you’d divide the numbers shown by two (e.g., 130 calories).

Nutrition Numbers
The label lists the number of Calories and the number of Calories from Fat
in one serving. Also listed are the grams of Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Trans Fat,
Total Carbohydrate, Dietary Fiber, Sugars, Protein and milligrams of Cholesterol
and Sodium. Sometimes labels list extra information. For example, this label lists
the grams of Monounsaturated Fat and Polyunsaturated Fat and milligrams
of Potassium.
Percent Daily Values
These percentages show how much of each nutrient one serving provides in a
2,000-calorie diet. For this label, one serving of food provides 11% of the Total Fat
and 15% of the Calcium recommended for the day.
Hit Your Targets…Not Too High
For nutrients we sometimes get too much of (Fat, Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and
Sodium), your daily goal is to total 100% or less of the Daily Value. There is no Daily
Value for Trans Fat, but experts recommend keeping intake as low as possible.
Hit Your Targets…Not Too Low
For nutrients such as Potassium, Dietary Fiber, Calcium, Iron, Vitamin A and Vitamin
C, your daily goal is to reach 100% of the Daily Value. Look for foods that are good
sources (10-19% of the Daily Value) or excellent sources (20% or more of the Daily
Value) of nutrients like these. This label shows that one serving of the food is an
excellent source of Dietary Fiber and Vitamin A and a good source of Potassium,
Calcium and Iron.
Did You Know?
Some important vitamins and minerals are not required to appear on the Nutrition Facts Label (although the manufacturer sometimes chooses to list them). For example, a serving of beef stew is an
excellent source of vitamin B12 and zinc, but the amounts and % Daily Value may not be on the la.
bel. To learn about the nutrients in each of MyPlate’s food groups, go to ChooseMyPlate.gov
