Tag: Largest food group

The MyPlate dietary guidelines suggest that half of a person's plate should be filled with fruits and vegetables. Among the four triangular sections, one food group is visually and proportionally the largest, playing a pivotal role in promoting a nutrient-rich and balanced diet.

A staggering 40% of the MyPlate graphic is dedicated to the vegetable group, making it the single largest portion. This visual guide from the USDA helps Americans understand which food group occupies the largest portion of the USDA MyPlate and why that matters for a healthy diet.
