4 Test Your Knowledge Let s start with this pre-test and at the end of the session we will discuss the answers. Answer or for each question below. 1. Children should have equal amounts of fruits and vegetables each day. 2. Half of our plates should be fruits and vegetables. 3. Iceberg lettuce has a similar nutrition profile when compared to romaine lettuce. 4. When children are involved in choosing the vegetable, they are more likely to try the vegetable. 5. Vegetables can be served in the CACFP meal pattern at all meals and snacks. 6. Kids that are 3 years old should have at least 1 cup of vegetables per day. 7. ChooseMyPlate recommends that kids have most of their vegetables from the dark green subgroup. More Veggies!

5 MyPlate illustrates the five food groups that are the foundation of a healthy diet. It uses a familiar image, a table place setting, to show what food groups should be on your plate to eat healthier. MyPlate: emphasizes the fruit, vegetable, grains, protein and dairy food groups. was developed to help us put into daily practice important nutrition recommendations from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Is an easy to use illustration to include all of the food groups. One of the key nutrition recommendations from MyPlate is that one half of our plates should be filled with fruits and vegetables. As you look at the plate notice that the amount of vegetables is slightly larger than the fruit., meaning that we should be eating more vegetables than fruit. How Many Cups of Vegetables Should: A 3 year old eat each day? Yourself, eat each day? More Veggies!

6 Looking at the chart above: A 3 year old should have 1 cup of vegetables per day. Women years of age should have 2 1/2 cups per day.

7 MY PLATE MESSAGE: VARY YOUR VEGGIES Not all vegetables are created equal. Vegetables are organized into 5 subgroups based on their nutrient content. The 5 subgroups are: Dark Green Red/Orange Beans and Peas (Legumes)* Other Starchy Varying your veggies by including all of the subgroups in your diet each week is important to obtain important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, potassium, zinc, and iron. *Beans and peas are the mature forms of legumes. (i.e. kidney beans, black beans, lentils etc.) More Veggies!
