Ck 12: Life Science: Choosing Healthy Foods

Curated by ACT

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Foods such as whole grain breads, fresh fruits, and fish provide nutrients you need for good health. But different foods give you different types of nutrients. You also need different amounts of each nutrient. How can you choose the right mix of foods to get the proper balance of nutrients? Three tools can help you choose foods wisely: MyPyramid, MyPlate, and food labels. Learn more about choosing healthy foods in this learning module produced by CK-12.
