ChooseMyPlate.gov

Choose MyPlate.gov is a fairly new Website that showcases the newer icon MyPlate, which took the place of the Food Guide Pyramid in 2010. MyPlate works hand-in-hand with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to help people:

Make smarter choices from each food group

Find a healthy balance between food and physical activity

Get the most nutrition out of calories consumed

Stay within daily calorie needs

The MyPlate icon is a familiar mealtime visual that emphasizes the five food groups, which are the foundation of a healthy diet. It divides the dinner plate into four sections, for fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins, with a fifth, smaller plate to one side for dairy foods. MyPlate illustrates these food groups as separate colors and different sizes on the plate. For example, the fruit (red) and vegetable (green) portions make up half of the plate to emphasize the recommendation that fruits and vegetables should make up at least half of every meal.

Other key suggestions from the MyPlate guide include:

Food to Increase:

Make half your plate fruits and vegetables

Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk

Make at least half of your grains whole-grains

Go lean with protein
