Getting Started with MyPlate
ChooseMyPlate.gov
MyPlate Icon
MyPlate is part of a larger communications initiative based on 2010 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans to help consumers make better food choices.
MyPlate is designed to remind Americans to eat healthfully; it is not
intended to change consumer behavior alone.
MyPlate illustrates the five
food groups using a familiar mealtime visual, a place setting.
ChooseMyPlate.gov
The website features practical information and tips to help Americans build
healthier diets.
It features selected messages
to help consumers focus on key behaviors. Selected messages include:
o Balancing Calories
§ Enjoy your food, but eat less.
§ Avoid
oversized portions.
o Foods to Increase
§ Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
§ Make at least half your grains whole grains.
§ Switch
to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
o Foods to Reduce
§ Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and
frozen
meals—and choose foods with lower
numbers.
§ Drink
water instead of sugary drinks.
ChooseMyPlate.gov
includes much of the consumer and professional information formerly found on
MyPyramid.gov.
