《吳希素營養師專欄》代替食物金字塔的盤子

My Plate vs. My Pyramid

After 18 years of the Food Pyramid era, on June 2nd, Lady Obama together with the Secretary of Agriculture announced the new icon called "My plate". The icon itself serves as a reminder for healthy eating, but it does not provide specific messages. You are encouraged to go on the website www.choosemyplate.gov to learn more about each components of the "plate".

The new icon is also introduced together with the new updated 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans which published earlier this year to provide guidance on how to eat well. The key selected messages from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines are:

* Enjoy your food, but eat less.

* Avoid oversized portions.

* Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.

* Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.

* Make at least half your grains whole grains.

* Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals—and choose foods with lower numbers.

* Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

For me as a dietitian, I'll still be using the 2005 version of "my pyramid" as a nutrition education tool together with the new "plate". I like the pyramid because it shows all the food groups we need and has included exercise in the picture; while "my plate" presents an easy to understand image as a guide for meal planning. The new icon will help parents to think of what to prepare for kids are best at meal time.

代替食物金字塔的盤子

經過 18年的「食物金字塔時代」,奧巴馬夫人與農業部長於6月2日宣布了新的圖標為‧「我的盤子」。該圖標為一個健康飲食方法的提醒,但它並沒有提供詳細的營養資訊。您需要從2010年的最新飲食指南中了解最新的營養資訊。此外,你也可以瀏覽www.choosemyplate.gov 知道盤子中食物的詳細資料。

2010年的美國國民膳食指南重點:

* 享受食物,但減少份量。

* 避免加大食物份量。

* 水果和蔬菜應佔盤子的一半份量。

* 以脫脂或低脂(1%)牛奶代替全脂牛奶。

* 至少一半的五穀類為全穀類食物。

* 比較食品中的鈉含量,如罐頭湯,麵包和冷凍食品,選擇鈉含量較低的食物。

* 以開水代替含糖飲料。

作為營養師,我仍會使用2005年的「我的金字塔」及最新的「我的盤子」作為營養教育工具。食物金字塔詳細顯示了我們每天所需的營養素及食物種類,當中也加入了運動,而「我的盤子」利用更容易理解的概念來幫助我們制定飲食計劃。新的圖標也幫助家長了解如何為孩子們準備健康菜單。
