The USDA created MyPlate as an educational tool to illustrate the five food groups and remind consumers to make healthy food choices from each of the five food groups.The MyPlate icon divides a plate into four sections,each representing a food group-fruits,vegetables,grains,and protein foods.The sections vary in size,indicating relative proportion each food group contributes to a healthy diet.A circle next to the plate represents the milk group (dairy).The MyPlate icon does not stand alone as an educational tool.It is accompanied by a wealth of information on the website (www.choosemyplate.gov).Consumers can choose the kinds and amounts of foods they need to eat each day based on their height,weight,age,gender,and activity level.Information is also available for children,pregnant and lactating women,and for vegetarians.In addition to creating a personal plan,consumers can find daily tips to help them improve their diet and increase physical activity.A key message of the website is to enjoy food,but eat less by avoiding oversized portions.
