Food Groups Servings for weight loss
There are six food groups. For a balanced diet you must eat a minimum amounts of foods from each group
I have broken up some of the food groups and selected some of the foods in each group for this plan. The amounts shown are for 1,600 calories per day.
If you will click on the food Group, it will take you to details of the serving sizes. For example, if you will click on Grains, it will take you Grains home page and describe the serving size details.
