The USDA MyPlate Food Group Gallery page shows lists of foods for each of the five food groups. Hyperlinked foods show pictures of a specific amount in cup-equivalents (for fruits, vegetables, or dairy) and ounce-equivalents (for grains and protein foods).

Nutrition worksheets: The 5 food groups. Students match common foods with their respective food groups (fruits, vegetables, meats or beans, grains and dairy). In the 3rd worksheet, students create their own balanced meal.

This diagram will describe the five different food groups and nutrition. You can easily edit this template using Creately. You can export it in multiple formats like JPEG, PNG and SVG and easily add it to Word documents, Powerpoint (PPT) presentations, Excel or any other documents.
