Summary: This week in class we learned about serving sizes and calories. A calorie is energy and 1 calorie is enough energy to heat something up 1 degrees Celsius. Serving sizes are about the about of food someones should eat to help control calories. My Plate is the new way of serving sizes where it shows how much of your plate should each of the food groups be in Fruits: 20% Protein 20% Dairy: 20% Grains: 30% Vegetables: 30%.


 SP2: Developing and using models:
In class we developed a model by taking a food pyramid and placing how many servings of each of each food group we eat. We used the model by taking the information and applying that to our diet to keep us healthy!
