The nutrition guidelines in HealthyLife® Weigh and this menu planning guide are based on USDA’s MyPlate and the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPlate helps to identify how much food makes up a healthy and balanced meal by showing how different food groups take up space on a plate:

*  Make ½ of your plate fruits and vegetables.

* ¼ of your plate is lean protein.

* ¼ of your plate is a whole grain or high-fiber starch.

* Drink low-fat dairy or consume other calcium-rich foods or drinks.
