I found this really cool USDA site that allows you to create your own personalized food guide. You enter your, weight, hieght, age, activity level & sex and it generates a plan to maintain and a plan to decrease your weight.
So when I entered my info- it told me I'm above healthy weight boooo. But BMI is not everything and doesnt take into account my massive muscles (haha). Anyways, so I chose the "decrease" plan.
Heres what it gave me:
|
| 9 ounces | |
| 3.5 cups | |
| 2 cups | |
| 3 cups | |
| 6.5 ounces | |
Click the food groups above to learn more.
1 Make Half Your Grains Whole |
Aim for at least 4.5 ounces of whole grains a day. |
Physical Activity |
Physical activity is also important for health. Adults should get at least 30 minutes of moderate level activity most days. Longer or more vigorous activity can provide greater health benefits.
