What is the Myplate sheet?

It is a printable sheet with educational purpose on what to eat in order to have a well-balanced diet. The worksheet usually contains the picture of a plate which then becomes a chart. It is followed by the illustration of a glass and a spoon or a fork viewed from above.

Furthermore, some of the types have a box of pictures or a list of the possible food which can be eaten. There are three types of this page. The first is the one you can color. It has colorless illustrations of many ingredients for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The outlines are usually clear and thick.

The second one is the sheet that you can cut and paste. It has a table with food images at the bottom which then you may cut and paste on the area with its suitable name.

The last one is the nutrition assessment sheet. It has numbers and blank spaces on the chart. You then fill and write the matching type of food from a box with a list of various ingredients on the chart.

Why do we need a template that shows us how to eat healthily?

In order to understand and remember something, one has to be taught continuously about a certain topic. Consumption is a repeated habit. Hence, this device also can be used multiple times as a reminder.

Parents and teachers mostly need this to make the young generation aware of what they are eating. The graphic offers us clarity and simplicity. At school or seminars, the definition of healthy and balanced meal can be too abstract and too complicated to be understood. And becoming a nutritionist is not accessible for all layers of society.

This template tells the five categories of sustenance for healthy eating. They are fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Not only provide clear classifications but it also has distinct percentages on the chart.

Moreover, because of its intelligibility, anyone can make their design at home. Particularly children can draw or copy the drawing from the internet and get creative with colors and glitters.

What is the history of MyPlate?

The United States Department of Agriculture made several food templates for almost seventy years. The page recommends what kind of nutrition is necessary for each portion of eating. So far, there have been seven developments.

The first one is the basic seven. Then, they created the basic four. It is followed by hassle-free daily consumption. Next, there is a food wheel. The fifth one is the guide pyramid. The sixth one is MyPyramid food. The newest one is MyPlate. The circle or a plate functions as a visual cue for each meal.

It makes the message more applicable and relatable. The word ‘My’ makes it more personal. MyPlate motivates people to make diversity, quantity, and nutrition as focal points. It includes choosing products that have low fat and other types of carbohydrates.

Why do people prefer MyPlate food guide?

It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date model of a healthy consumption. Vegetables take the large piece of the chart which is 30%. Then, it is followed by grains (30%). Fruits and protein take a fifth of the amount.

It does not require meat to be included. Instead, it uses the word ‘protein’ which can be fish or beans for vegan. It erases the fat oil which exists in the previous MyPyramid. It also encourages people to consume dairy.

From the aforementioned information,  this latest version is easy to understand and the composition makes a good diet. Furthermore, the ingredients are cheaper and can be found at the grocery stores or farmer markets. 

How do we teach children about food guides in a classroom?

MyPlate design is accessible and easily grasped by children. In teaching a healthy diet to students, several steps need to be done. The first one is printing the healthy meal templates. The students can have two options; choosing the colorless or the colorful ones.

The second is discussion. Pupils are asked to exchange ideas about the definition and examples of protein, vegetables, dairy, and so on. They also need to analyze why the portion is divided into five categories.

Furthermore, they can share their favorite food and their recommendations with their friends. Additionally, they can analyze their usual meals compared to the graphic. They need to understand which area needs improvement.

After that, they start to cut and paste or color the paper. Make the students help each other. Thereafter, they are finished, ask the students to choose whether they want to put their results at school or home.

If they choose to put it on the classroom’s walls, they can use it for reference before buying snacks. For the ones who bring it home, make sure they share their printable with their parents and discuss their future meals together.
