Foods You Should Be Eating Every Day, According to the USDA

Don't worry, we're not going to tell you to eat abstract superfoods every single day. In fact, the foods you should be eating every day are actually foods you're quite familiar with, thanks to the easy nutritional guidelines set up by the USDA.

According to the MyPlate guidelines, a set of guidelines released by the USDA for proper nutritional health, there are five food groups that everyone should focus on. By setting up your "plate" with these items, you should always have a nutritious meal on your hands.

Plus, by eating foods out of these five food groups, you are getting a healthy amount of the nutrients needed for your body throughout the day. On the USDA's website, they state that "each food group includes a variety of foods that are similar in nutritional makeup, and each group plays an important role in an overall healthy eating pattern. Some of the food groups are broken down further into subgroups to emphasize foods that are particularly good sources of certain vitamins and minerals."
