Building a Better Food Pyramid

In 2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) retired the old food pyramid and replaced it with an interactive and individualized tool that bases dietary recommendations on weight, height, gender, age, and activity level. The new nutrition tool, called MyPyramid, uses the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans to generate your plan. The guidelines recommend that between 45 and 65 percent of daily calories come from carbohydrates; and that only half of grain servings come from whole-grain, versus refined, sources. While this may be appropriate for some people with diabetes, for others it could pose a significant challenge.
