Step 1 Consider the food groups in MyPlate and the recommendations for each.

• Vegetables = 3-5 servings per day
• Fruits = 3-5 servings per day
• Milk = 2 servings per day
• Grains = 4-6 servings per day with at least half of them being whole grains
• Protein = 4-8 ounces per day (lean, or unsaturated fat sources)

Step 2: Watch the video and answer the questions

• What stood out to you as the most important guideline?
• Did the sample menu (beginning at 3:44) meet the recommended servings for each of the food groups?
• EXPLAIN two specific food changes that would improve the sample diet to be more like the MIND diet? For example, you might note that some food groups do not meet the amount mentioned in the recommendations above the video, so you would suggest some foods that would help meet the correct number in that food group.
