Planning a Healthy Diet ChooseMyPlateDietary Guidelines, 2010 Food Labels Chapter 2
Objectives After reading Chapter 2, class discussion, and learning activities, you will be able to: Describe ChooseMyPlate Describe the relationship between food group recommendations and calorie levels List ChooseMyPlate guidelines, food placement and recommendations for each food group Utilize ChooseMyPlate for personal food evalution and recipe modification Describe the concept of portion distortion
Objectives • Identify ways to estimate and reduce portion size • Discuss the 2005/2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans • Discuss basic implementation of each guideline • Identify components of the food label • Interpret information from the food label • Define various label definitions • Distinguish nutrient claims vs health claims on the food label • Read ingredient lists
Concepts…… • Dietary Recommendations • Food groups, specific foods and nutrients • Dietary Reference Intakes • Technical, specific nutrient recommendations • Food Guides • Kinds and amounts of foods to make a nutritionally adequate diet • Choose My Plate
Choose MyPlate says: Balance calories Foods to increase Foods to reduce
Choose MyPlate says: 1. Balance calories Enjoy your food, but eat less Avoid oversized portions
Choose MyPlate says: Foods to increase Make ½ your plate fruits and veggies Make at least ½ your grains whole grains Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1% milk)
Choose MyPlate says: 3. Foods to reduce Compare sodium in prepared foods - choose lower numbers Drink water instead of sugary drinks
MyPlate: Grain Group • 19-50 y.o. • 6-8 oz a day • Make half grain intake “whole” • Whole vs. refined • 1 ounce equivalent = • 1 slice bread • 1 small muffin • 1 cup ready-to-eat cereal flakes • ½ cup cooked rice, pasta, or cooked cereal
MyPlate: Vegetable Group • 19-50 y.o. • 2 ½-3 cups a day • Vary your vegetables • 5 groups • Dark green • Red and orange • Beans and peas • Starchy • Other • 1 cup vegetables = • 1 cup cut-up raw or cooked vegetables • 1 cup vegetable juice • 2 cups leafy salad greens (raw)

My Plate Based On Calorie Needs pages 42-43
Discretionary Kcals • “Empty calorie limit” • Solid Fats, Added Sugars • Allows for: • Increased amount of food • Foods not in the lowest fat form • Foods that contain added sugars • Alcohol
Examples of Discretionary Kcals • Fat in cheese, whole milk, cream • Fat in poultry skin, sausage, higher fat meats • Sugar added to beverages, sauces • Pies, cookies, etc. because of sugar and/or fats
Portion Size Comparisons Choose MyPlate portions do not always match food label serving sizes US portion sizes steadily increasing Large portions= more calories, fat, sodium, etc. Food labels/nutrition information allows consumers to compare
Portion Distortion • “To change the shape, size” • “Not true representing true facts or reality” • Difficult to accurately estimate diet intake • Consumer error on low-side of intake • Effects all people 3+ in age
Portion Distortion Trends • Restaurants servings 250% larger than 20 years ago • Dinner plate surface area 40% larger than 1960 • Joy of Cooking entrée portions 42% larger • Super, biggie, king-size, jumbo • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6QnCdc6LkY
Top 3 Portion Infuences • Large serving sizes (restaurants-stores) • Purchasing large amounts of food • Large size dishware (plates, cups, bowls)
Large Portions Add Up 100 extra calories per day 10 pound weight gain per year Maintaining a Healthy Weight Calories In = Calories Out
French Fries 2.4 ounces 210 calories 13 grams fat 177 mg sodium 7 ounces 610 calories 20 grams fat 380 mg sodium Calorie difference: 400 calories
Walking leisurely for 1 hour and 10 minutesburns approximately 400 calories* Increased French fries size: 400 more calories *Based on 160-pound person
What Food Professionals Can Do… • Offering smaller options on menu’s • Provide nutrition information for customer comparison

Food Labels & College Students 537 randomly selected college students Mean age =23 + 6 177 men; 360 women 80% normal wt; 80% non-smokers 67% met activity recommendations 44% used nutritional supplements J.Am.Diet Assoc 2007 107:2130-2134
Results: Food Labels & College Students 55% never taught how to use labels 66% used label when buying food Most often used info: Total fat; calories; serving size Least often used info: Fiber; iron; Vitamin A Women used more frequently
Results: Food Labels & College Students 92% correctly identified Daily Value for grams of fat 67% correctly identified foods with highest grams of fat and fiber 11% correctly defined “serving size” 33% believed labels not accurate 67% believed nutrition claims untrue 50% believed health claims untrue
Nutrition Facts Panel Daily Value: A set of nutrient-intake values developed by the Food and Drug Administration used as a reference for expressing nutrient content on nutrition labels. Based on a 2000 kcal/day intake
Food Label Claims Nutrient claims: statements that characterize the quantity of a nutrient in a food (p.64; 65) Health claims: statements that characterize the relationship between a nutrient in a food and a disease or health related condition (p.64; 66) Structure-function claims: statements characterizing relationship of nutrient with role in the body p. 64 - 67
Food Label Claims Nutrient claims: Example: “rich in calcium” Health claims: Example: “Sodium and reduced risk of hypertension” FDA approved statement Structure-function claims: Example: “build strong bones” Legal but not FDA approved Page 65-66
