    The new MyPlate for Older Adults icon depicts a colorful plate with images to encourage older Americans to follow a healthy eating pattern bolstered by physical activity. The plate is composed of approximately:

    • 50 percent fruits and vegetables;
    • 25 percent grains, many of which are whole grains; and
    • 25 percent protein-rich foods such as nuts, beans, fish, lean meat, poultry, and fat-free and low-fat dairy products such as milk, cheeses, and yogurts.

    The new MyPlate for Older Adults icon also includes images of good sources of fluid, such as water, milk, tea, soup, and coffee; heart-healthy fats such as vegetable oils and soft margarines; and herbs and spices to be used in place of salt to lower sodium intake.

    @OldTech

    Well I love strawberries, I love raspberries and I love blueberries too ... but what I wouldn't be happy with is 22g carbs per serving, when a recipe like the one shown below, the amount of carbs is low, low, low!

    Tufts University nutrition scientists provide updated MyPlate for older adults Summer+fruits+cake.


    Ingredients:
    200g ground almonds
    2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
    3 medium eggs
    2 tablespoons of butter
    2 tablespoons double cream
    Fresh low carb berries
