I know, I've answered this question before, but I always seem to have the same response, it really is about a natural full grain, fruit, vegetable and protein diet. The Food Pyramid was revised in 2005 it's now more user friendly, and I advise everybody to go to this site. There are now 6 food groups:
Protein Sub Group----fat, oil, sweets, USE IN MODERATION
Milk, yogurt, cheese, (2-3 serving) per day
1 serving is: 1/2 c milk, yogurt, cheese (skim milk variety)
1 c cottage cheese
1 c yogurt
1 1/2 ox cheese
1 oz processed cheese\
Whole grains, bread, cereal, rice, pasts -----2-11 servings per day
these are carbs; 1 serving is; 1 slice of bread; 1/2 rice, cereal, or pasta
1 flour tortilla, ( stone ground 100% whole wheat flour)
Veggies----- 3-5 servings
1 serving is= 1/2 c leafy veggies, 1/2 cup cooked or raw, 3/4 veggie juice
Fruits---2-4 servings' 1 serving is- 1 medium apple, orange, abnana
1/2 chopped, cooked, canned fruit
3/4 c fuit juice, (100% fuit only)
Beans, eggs, lean meat, fish 2-3 servings per day
serving size iss 1 egg, 1/2 c dry beans; 1/3 c nuts, (watch out there high in fat)
Fats and sweets, use "sparingly" this includes, salad dressings, oil, cream, butterm margarine, sugar, soft drinks, candy,sweet deserts.
IF your ona 1600 diet you need only 6 tsp of sugar per day
2200 calories 12 tsp and 2800 18 tsp per day
Fats- 1600 calories limit fat to 53 grams
2200 73 grams
2800 93grams
Multiply your total calories by 0.30 to get calories from fat; 2200 calories x 0.30 =660 from fat.
Divide calories from fat by 9 ( Each fat gram has 9 calories) 660 divided by 9= 73 grams of fat.
The new calories for us are:
1600 caories for women and older adults
2200 for children, teens, active women, and sedentary men
2800 for teen boys, active men, very active women.
Everything I say, sometimes sounds boring even to me, but it works, if you want to lose weight, you eat real food, and exercise, and the rest will come, in time!:D
