The food guide pyramid has been replaced with a new graphic…a dinner plate. The new guide is based on the updated 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Learn more about “My Plate” by exploring the website.
MyPlate Focuses on:
- Making your plate half fruits and vegetables
- Making at least half your grains whole-grains
- Switching to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk
- Enjoying your food, but in smaller portions
It’s about redesigning your plate!
