      • Vegetable Group should provide 5 servings, or 2.5 cups.
      • Grain Group should provide 6 ounce-equivalents (1 ounce-equivalent means 1 serving), half of which should be whole grains.
      • Meat and Beans Group should provide 5.5 ounce-equivalents or servings.
      • Milk Group should provide 3 cups/servings.
      • Oils should provide 24g or 6 teaspoons.
