The five food groups according to the USDA are:

  1. Fruits
  2. Vegetables
  3. Grains
  4. Protein (which includes meat, but is often listed more broadly)
  5. Dairy

From your provided options, the following are considered part of the five food groups:

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Dairy (which includes milk)
  • Proteins (which can refer to meat and other protein sources)

"Wheat" would fall under the "Grains" category, and "Meat" is part of "Protein." Therefore, the appropriate selections would be:

  • Milk
  • Proteins
  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Dairy
  • Grains

So, the correct responses are:

  • Milk (part of Dairy)
  • Proteins (includes Meat)
  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Dairy
  • Grains
