We Need Food

Time to eat! Food gives our
bodies energy.

What is your
favorite meal?

Food also gives our bodies
nutrients. Nutrients help
us stay healthy.

Different foods have
different nutrients.

There are five main food
groups. We should eat foods
from each group every day.

Each of these foods is
from one of the five
food groups.

Fruits and
Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are
two important food groups.
They are a large part of a
healthy diet.

What fruits and
veggies do you like?

Fruits make a yummy
cereal topping.

Bananas and blueberries are fruits.
Many fruits taste sweet.

Kids your age should eat about
to 1.5 cups (150 to grams)
of fruit every day. Thats at
least thirty- two grapes or one
large banana.

The vegetables in
this salad are raw.

Broccoli and peas are
vegetables. Some people like
to eat cooked vegetables.
Some people eat them raw.

You should eat about 1.5
cups (225 g) of vegetables
each day. Eighteen baby
carrots or three stalks of celery
are the right amount.

It is important to eat different
types of vegetables. Vegetables
can make your meal colorful too.

Grains

Grains are plants like wheat,
oats, and rice. Many types of
bread are made from grains.

Some grains are called whole
grains. Whole grains have more
nutrients than refined grains.

Refined grains have
been milled, or ground up.
Milling removes some of a
grains nutrients.

Brown rice and oatmeal are
whole grains. White rice and
plain bagels are made from
refined grains.

Whole grain cereal
makes a healthy
breakfast.

Try to choose a cereal
without much sugar.

You should eat about
ounces (142 g) of grain foods
each day. Half should be whole
grains. Eating cup (28 g) of corn
flakes cereal, cup (140 g) of whole
wheat noodles, and a small tortilla
is enough grains for a day.

Proteins and
Dairy

Meat and eggs have lots of
protein. Our bodies use protein
to grow muscles.

Eating an omelet can
help build muscles!

Grilled chicken has little
fat. Too much fat can be
bad for your heart.

Chicken and fish are good
meats to eat. They often have
less fat than other types of
meat. That makes them
healthy choices.

Not all protein comes from
animals. Nuts and beans also
have protein.

Nuts are a tasty and
crunchy protein source.

Four ounces (113 g) of
high- protein foods is what
you need each day. You
can get ounce (28 g) of protein
from twelve almonds or one egg.

This egg- and- veggie sandwich
makes a healthy lunch.
