12. Why do we eat?  Eat to maximize performance  Eat for optimal body composition  Eat to promote good health and prevent diseases

13. Food Groups: Partner Activity  With a partner, make a list of 3 foods from each food group

14. ChooseMyPlate.gov  For a 2,000 calorie diet:  Grains: 6 ounces  Vegetables: 2.5 cups  Fruit: 2 cups  Dairy: 3 cups  Protein: 5.5 ounces

15. Dairy Provides Calcium and Vitamin D for bone growth Choose low-fat or fat-free, which has less saturated fat (bad fat) Got milk?
