It provides you with important information about packaged food and drinks\u2014from serving size to calories to nutrient information. Here are a few ways you can make the most of the label.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>When shopping for groceries, use the label to compare different food items. Choose items higher in vitamins, minerals, and fiber and lower in saturated fat and sodium. <\/li>\n<li>Look at the label to track calories and use the serving information to choose the right portion size for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Plan your meals keeping MyPlate in mind.<br \/><\/b>The USDA&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2396890-1&amp;h=3105910153&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.choosemyplate.gov%2F&amp;a=MyPlate\" rel=\"nofollow\">MyPlate<\/a> illustrates the five food groups that are the building blocks of a healthy diet using a familiar image: a place setting for a meal. Here are a few ways you can use MyPlate to stick with your goals. <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Think about how you can include all five food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy) throughout your day. To make sure you&#8217;re getting the nutrients you need, choose a variety of foods and beverages from each food group. <\/li>\n<li>Make small changes to your meals and snacks to make them as complete as possible. For example, if you are making pasta, add veggies to the sauce. Or if you&#8217;re craving something sweet, cut up fruit for dessert! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on making healthy eating choices, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2396890-1&amp;h=2175436101&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fnutritioneducation&amp;a=www.fda.gov%2Fnutritioneducation\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.fda.gov\/nutritioneducation<\/a> or download the infographic below.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2396890-1&amp;h=1926597521&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fdownloads%2FFood%2FLabelingNutrition%2FUCM603415.pdf&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fdownloads%2FFood%2FLabelingNutrition%2FUCM603415.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/downloads\/Food\/LabelingNutrition\/UCM603415.pdf<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Contact: Media: 1-301-796-4540 Consumers: 1-888-SAFEFOOD (toll-free)<\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpga8cfleft\" style=\"WIDTH: 100%; TEXT-ALIGN: left\" dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpga8cfleft\" title=\" \" border=\"0\" alt=\" \" align=\"middle\" imagelabel=\"General\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/585467\/US_Food_and_Drug_Administration_Logo.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2396890-1&amp;h=2871149896&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F833078%2FUS_FDA_MyPlateTheseTools.jpg&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F833078%2FUS_FDA_MyPlateTheseTools.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/833078\/US_FDA_MyPlateTheseTools.jpg<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211;\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2396890-1&amp;h=1359743444&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F585467%2FUS_Food_and_Drug_Administration_Logo.jpg&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F585467%2FUS_Food_and_Drug_Administration_Logo.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/585467\/US_Food_and_Drug_Administration_Logo.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">SILVER SPRING, Maryland<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 12, 2019<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0Thinking of setting nutrition goals this National Nutrition Month\u00ae, but not sure where to start?
