Next, you will go through and read about the 5 different food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy).

Regarding all of these food groups, how much do you need for your age/gender? What constitutes a cup or an ounce? Are you eating food in this food group now, and if so, how much or how little? What are health benefits unique to each food group? What can you do for your own behaviors to make sure you are getting enough of each food group in your diet?

On another note, why are beans and peas unique foods? What are vegetarian options for protein sources?

What is an example of a meal that you would normally eat, where you are getting all of the nutrient requirements that the food pyramid recommends?

Overall, this entire assignment should be AT LEAST 2 pages
