Question

the five food groups represented in my plate does not include

Answer 1

1. Fats and oils
2. Sugars and sweeteners

These two food groups are not represented on MyPlate, as they are not considered essential for a healthy diet and should be consumed in moderation. While fats and oils can be important sources of essential fatty acids, they are also high in calories and can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Similarly, added sugars can provide empty calories and contribute to health problems like obesity and tooth decay. It is important to limit consumption of these food groups and focus on including a variety of foods from the five essential food groups represented on MyPlate - fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy.
