Calories From Fat Look for foods with the fewest calories from fat. It's the percentage of your day's recommended total for different nutrients based on a 2,000 or 2,500 calorie diet. For total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, choose foods with a low percentage daily value. Protein Try to get most of your protein from plant sources such as cooked beans and peas, which are naturally low in fat. For most people, 45-60 grams of protein a day is enough.
Some foods fit into more than one group.
Dry beans, peas, and lentils can be counted as servings in either the meat and beans group or the vegetable group.
