Food and nutrition myth about Canada’s Food Guide

Cinzia Cuneo 8 March, 2012 Eat Well

As promised in our March is nutrition month, we will be publishing one food & nutrition myth per day, written by Dietitians of Canada, so that you can “Get the real deal on your meal“.

MYTH: You’ll gain weight if you follow Canada’s Food Guide – it recommends too much food

THE TRUTH: The recommended number of servings in Canada’s Food Guide is an average amount of food that most people should try to eat every day. You might need to choose more or less food depending on your individual needs such as your physical activity level. The type of food you choose is just as important as how much you eat. The Food Guide recommends that you have a variety of foods and limit foods and beverages high in calories, fat, sugar and salt. Enjoy healthy choices from each food group in the amount that is right for you.
