4. History
• A food pyramid or diet pyramid is a triangular diagram
representing the optimal number of servings to be eaten each day
from each of the basic food groups .
• The first pyramid was published in Sweden in 1974. The 1992
pyramid introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) was called the "Food Guide Pyramid" or "Eating Right
Pyramid".
• It was updated in 2005 to "MyPyramid", and then it was replaced
by "MyPlate" in 2011.

and added sugars.

styles.
• Support healthy eating for everyone.
14. Conclusion

developing rapidly, new types of dietary
guidelines are preparing continuously.
• USDA have already undertaken working
on dietary guidelines for 2015-2020 &
dietary guidelines for 2020-2025.
• Bangladesh have also published a
dietary guidelines based on food guide
pyramid . Now we have to focus on
building My Plate for Bangladeshi
