What is the six types of food groups?
There isn't a universally recognized "six types of food groups," but the most common food grouping system used by many countries, including the United States, is the five food groups:
1. Fruits: Provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
2. Vegetables: Offer vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.
3. Grains: Whole grains are a good source of fiber, while refined grains provide energy.
4. Protein Foods: Include meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, nuts, and seeds, and are essential for building and repairing tissues.
5. Dairy: Provides calcium, vitamin D, and protein.
These five groups are used to encourage a balanced and healthy diet.
Note: Some systems, like the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, include "Healthy Fats" as a separate group alongside these five. This group encompasses foods like avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds.
