Three Meals Plus: Planning Meals and Snacks for Peak Performance

Directions: Using the Food Guide Pyramid, plan meals and snacks for a day to include the recommended number of servings from each food group. Keep in mind the serving size of the foods you will be planning to eat. Consider the time at which you engage in physical activities, as well as your class and test schedules. Plan your meals and snacks so that your blood sugar levels can support these activities.
