New Food Pyramids at MyPyramid.gov
The government has launched the MyPyramid.gov website to help explain the new food pyramids to U.S. citizens. Apparently, one food pyramid was not enough. The site says, "MyPyramid Plan can help you choose the foods and amounts that are right for you. For a quick estimate of what and how much you need to eat, enter your age, sex, and activity level in the MyPyramid Plan box." MyPyramid.gov offers color-coded food recommendations for grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat, beans and oils. Information about recommended levels of physical activity is also provided. A seperate website, MyPyramid Tracker, allows you to login and assess your food intake and physical activity levels.Tags: mypyramid | government
