Of the following, which is not one of the four main tips highlighted by the USDA and DHHS in 2010 with MyPlate?

Explanation

The USDA and DHHS made the MyPlate guidelines simple and easy to understand with "suggestive" rather that "prescriptive" recommendations and a visual icon to remind people to balance their dietary intake (the MyPlate icon). You will notice that the overall theme is moderate and easy to understand:

•Build a healthy plate. 

•Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt. 

•Eat the right amount of calories for you. 

•Be physically active your way. 

•Incorrect option: Exercising for 45 minutes daily is not one of the recommendations.
