SWEETS
and TREATS
The real
name of this group is the extra group.
That's
because these foods are not forbidden,
but should
come after you get all your other
required
foods for the day. Actually, you don't
have to
wait until the end of the day to eat
from this
group, just make sure you don't eat
so much
from this group that you don't eat the
foods
your body has to have.
Foods in
this group are high in overly high in
fat or
sugar. Examples are margarine, butter,
mayonaise,
salad dressings, gravy, soft drinks,
candy,
cookies, cakes, chips, etc.
REMEMBER,
these foods contain lots of
calories
and very little nutrition. Go sparingly.
