Question

The USDA Food Patterns sorts protein foods into three subgroups. The total recommended weekly intake of seafood should be about _________ percent.

Answer 1

At least 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

For balance and flexibility within the food group, the Healthy U.S.-Style Eating Pattern includes weekly recommendations for the subgroups: seafood; meats, poultry, and eggs; and nuts, seeds, and soy products. A specific recommendation for at least 8 ounce-equivalents of seafood per week also is included for the 2,000-calorie level, that advice translates into 20 percent of total consumption from the protein foods group.
