Healthy Eating Style

There is more than one way to eat healthfully and everyone has their own eating style. Make healthier choices that reflect your preferences, culture, traditions, and budget. Choose fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein foods to get the most nutrition and meet your personal calorie needs. Aim for a variety of foods and beverages from each food group and limit saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.

Everything You Eat and Drink Matters — Focus on Variety, Amount, and Nutrition

What and how much you eat and drink, along with regular physical activity, can help you manage your weight and lower your risk of disease.


Choose Foods and Beverages with Less Saturated Fat, Sodium, and Added Sugars

The saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars found in foods and beverages are important for you to think about as you build your healthy eating style. Saturated fat and sodium are sometimes found naturally in foods and beverages. Sugars, sodium, and ingredients high in saturated fat can also be added during processing or preparing foods and beverages.
