Dinner tables should be for more than just eating. Join the movement and commit to one more meal at home per week this September for #FamilyMealsMovement!

Eating meals together as a Family makes strong family connections.

Family Meals create opportunity for connecting and creating memories.

By planning nutritious meals your family can reap even more benefits.  The dietitian team at Food City encourages families to use the USDA MyPlate approach for meal planning. The goal of MyPlate is to offer a simple, straight forward visual guide for building “better for you” meals. The visual emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. 

 

MyPlate Family Meals should:

Make half the plate fruits and vegetables
Fit in more whole grains
Serve up a variety of lean protein choices 
Feature low-fat or non-fat dairy products or fortified soy alternatives
