Editor's Notes

  • #10 The Food Guide Pyramid was first developed in 1992 and was revised as MyPyramid in 2005 to include exercise and a corresponding website with personalized food plans. Many people found it difficult to follow and understand. What did the stripes mean? Why were some stripes wider than others? Where was the food? The MyPlate icon is easier to follow. With MyPlate you can visualize that you should half your plate fruits and vegetables, ¼ grains (such as bread, pasta, cereal, or rice), ¼ protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, beans, etc.) and dairy. In January 2011, the government released the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (which are the basis of the MyPlate messages) with the hope that it would be easier to follow and contribute to better health. The following are some of the major changes: Make half your plate fruits and vegetables Eat fewer grains and make at least half of them whole grain Make ¼ of your plate lean protein, including fish and seafood Fat and oils are not on MyPlate Serving sizes are not mentioned – if you choose a smaller 8” diameter plate, your portion sizes will smaller For combination foods such as pizza or pasta dishes, read food labels to determine what amount is one serving
