The accurate statement is C. It is correct that people may use choosemyplate.gov website to evaluate their diet nutritional adequacy. The site provides crucial information concerning different types of food groups and the recommended amounts in every meal (MyPlate). For example, the site includes information about the amount of vegetables an individual is expected to take. QUESTION 2 There are five main food groups that are fundamental to the dietary recommendations. According to MyPlate, they include grains, proteins, dairy, fruits, and vegetables. Vegetables provide minerals and vitamins for better health. Similarly, fruits also enhance health by increasing the variety of nutrients.
