Today in kids cooking lessons we are going to go over the MyPyramid chart as we have done in previous lessons.

If you need a MyPyramid chart visit here for a MyPyramid kid's poster PDF version that you can print off and hang in your kitchen.




If you are just joining us look back at Assistant Lesson 8 where we had a great lesson on making your own MyPyramid chart and going on a grocery store tour.

Also look at Chef-in-Training Lesson 3 where we practiced keeping a food diary. Review these for any ideas you might want to implement in today's lesson.

Part 2: Using the Food Pyramid for Healthy Eating

Now plan out one day's menu, including breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner, making sure all the food groups and the appropriate amounts are used for balanced nutrition.

The amounts are located on the advanced version of MyPyramid kid's poster. For example, it reads, 6 oz. of grains everyday, at least half should be whole.

Have an adult look it over and help prepare the meal that was planned.
