Try to fill about half of your plate with fruits or vegetables at meals. Everyone needs to eat fruits and vegetables every day. Some simple tips to improve your eating habits are to eat more vegetables, snack on fruit more often, and cook at home more each week. Most of us don’t need complicated calorie counting programs or special recipes for healthy eating. Snacks can be a good way to fill in fruits and whole grains you might have missed at meals. Think about filling your plate with foods from the five food groups - fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy - at each meal. Use MyPlate (PDF, 281 KB) as a guide to build a healthy diet. Focusing on the choices you can control will help you make small changes in your daily life to eat healthier. Often, healthy eating is affected by things that are not directly under your control, like how close the grocery store is to your house or job.
What you eat and drink is influenced by where you live, the types of foods available in your community and in your budget, your culture and background, and your personal preferences. But most women, most of the time, should get their essential nutrients from what they eat and drink. Some women might need vitamins, minerals, or other supplements at certain times in life like before or during pregnancy. Healthy eating also means getting nutrients primarily from food rather than from vitamins or other supplements. Healthy eating also means not eating a lot of foods with added sugar, sodium (salt), and saturated and trans fats. It means choosing different types of healthy food from all of the food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins), most of the time, in the correct amounts for you. Healthy eating is a way of eating that improves your health and helps prevent disease.
