Plan a balanced plate
MyPlate pages could not be fetched. This guide uses the NHS Eatwell Guide and the available DGA cache, which is a landing page rather than detailed portion guidance. UK guidance is identified as such.
In practice

The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day. [1]
The NHS Eatwell Guide advises choosing unsaturated oils and spreads and eating them in small amounts. [1]
