Your meals should include all of the food groups while limiting sugar, salt and saturated fat, the agency says.

The USDA offers these additional suggestions:

  • Learn the ingredients in all foods and beverages you consume, which will help you make healthier choices.
  • Eat slowly, enjoy the taste and texture of your food and pay attention to how you feel.
  • Use a smaller plate.
  • Chose healthier options if you eat out.
  • Feed your sweet tooth with fruit, instead of choices with added sugar.
  • Eat more vegetables, fruit and whole grains.
  • Opt for calorie-free beverages, such as water, unsweetened tea or sparkling water, over soda and alcoholic drinks.
  • Make sweets a once-in-a-while treat. It’s OK to indulge occasionally, not daily.
