[CyberTOPS] My Pyramid

[lindat55 at bellsouth.net]

Last night our guest speaker at TOPS was from the LSU Ag Center.  She
presented a Power Point presentation on My Pyramid and the different food
groups, had the plastic foods to show us the portions. She also explained
how to read labels and to be concerned with the serving amount as well.  You
can go to this site, put in your age, weight, height and she said to always
use less than 30 minutes exercise where it asks, and it will give you a
calorie amount and how many in each food group you should have a day.  Also,
if your food plan says 2 cups of veggies a day, you can have 4 cups of
lettuce.

Hugs, Linda T.
