Last week I was asked to teach a nutrition class eating balanced meals and thought it would be a snap. That was my first mistake. I have a degree in health education and I’ve taught classes like this many times. That was my second mistake.

Needless to say, I learned a lot more than I thought I would. Take the 10-question quiz below and see if you’re the smarty pants you think you are.

True or False?

__ 1. In 2005, the USDA released a revised version of the Food Guide Pyramid, called MyPyramid.

__ 2. MyPyramid measures food by the cups and ounces not on serving portions recommended for adults.

__ 3. Tomatoes are a vegetable.

__ 4. Corn is both a grain and a vegetable.

__ 5. Whole wheat flour contains more fiber than brown rice.

__ 6. Fruits and vegetables contain fiber.

__ 7. Medical research shows that whole grains offer health benefits beyond fiber alone.

__ 8. Dry beans and peas can be counted in the Meat and Beans group.

__ 9. Soy products can be counted in the Meat and Beans group.

__10. The recommended dietary fiber intake is 14 grams for every 1,000 calories consumed.

If you answer true to all of the questions then you got 100 percent. A personalized plan based on your gender, age, height, weight and physical activity level can be created on the MyPryamid homepage, but the proportions are the same for most people. They also have special versions for kids, preschoolers, pregnant and nursing mothers, and for those looking for help losing weight.

Question: How well did you do on the quiz?
