For those who felt that the "MyPyramid"was confusing, you might find "MyPlate" easier to follow. The "Myplate" is a circular plate cut into 4 colored sections representing fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. The plate also has a circle to represent your daily dairy intake. This new approach is designed to show the public a visual representation of the balance between fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins. "MyPlate" also provides tips and tools the public can use in order to choose the healthier option. Overall, the new MyPlate is an easier way for the public to understand the balance of different food groups. Refer to the USDA's MyPlate website for additional tools and tips!
