What makes up a healthy Meal?

The key to a diet that you’ll love and feeds your body everything it needs, is variety and balance. Each food group provides certain nutritional benefits. And it's important to enjoy a variety of foods from within each food group, because each food offers different flavors, textures, and colors, as well as different macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

How exactly you divide up your plate (this is called macronutrient ratio) will depend on your preferred diet. But most will include foods from all food groups. Tap on each one to find recipes, tips, and guides.
