What are the six food groups?
The six food groups are a simplified way of categorizing foods for nutritional guidance. They are:
1. Fruits: Provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
2. Vegetables: Offer essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
3. Grains: Provide complex carbohydrates, fiber, and some nutrients.
4. Protein Foods: Offer protein, essential amino acids, and sometimes iron and zinc.
5. Dairy: Provide calcium, vitamin D, and protein.
6. Oils: Provide essential fatty acids and calories.
It's important to note:
* This classification is not perfect. Some foods fit into multiple groups (e.g., beans are both protein and vegetables).
* This system is not the only one. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans uses a different system that focuses on food groups and subgroups.
* Variety is key. Aim to eat a variety of foods within each group for optimal nutrition.
It's best to consult with a registered dietitian or nutritionist for personalized dietary advice.
