  • Moving from Mypyramid to Myplate
    Moving from MyPyramid to MyPlate In June 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the new MyPlate tool to accompany the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPlate replaces MyPyramid; it illustrates the five food groups in a place setting that visually reminds everyone to make healthful food choices. The U.S.D.A. is rolling out a variety of educational materials to support putting MyPlate into practice. An updated MyPlate Web site will be available in Fall/Winter 2011 with materials for children and schools. Until then, MyPyramid resources will remain available to health professionals and nutrition educators in the “Tips and Resources” section of the MyPlate Web site. While the U.S.D.A. and publishers are working to make new materials available, this packet provides a brief overview of available MyPlate resources and suggestions for adapting nutrition education lessons. This packet includes: Æ An At-A-Glance Comparison of MyPyramid and MyPlate Æ MyPlate Consumer and Educational Materials Æ Tips for Adapting Lessons with MyPlate Æ Additional Resources for MyPlate and Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidance Developed with support from the California Department of Education – Nutrition Services Division. Contact the 1 California Healthy Kids Resource Center with questions about nutrition resources or this new educational tool (www.californiahealthykids.org or call toll free 888-318-8188).

  • Mypyramid Amounts of Foods—For You

The recommended amounts of food from each food group vary depending on calories needed. For 2,000 calories, the amounts needed for 1 day are listed below along with measures of food and common objects you can use for comparison: Food Group Common Object Measures of Food Recommendations Comparisons Grains Group – 6 1 slice bread = 1 ounce CD (to equal about ½ ounces or equivalent inch thickness) 1 cup dry cereal, flakes or rounds, or 1 Baseball ¼ cup puffed cereal = 1 ounce ½ cup cooked rice, pasta, or cereal = 1 Small computer mouse ounce Vegetables ½ cup vegetables, cooked Small computer mouse Group – 2½ cups 1 cup vegetables, raw Baseball 10 medium length French fries Deck of cards Fruits Group – 2 1 small apple or medium pear Baseball cups ½ cup 100% fruit juice 4-fluid-ounce juice box ½ cup fruit, chopped or canned Small computer mouse Milk Group – 3 1 cup lowfat or fat-free milk 8-fluid-ounce carton of cups or equivalent of 1½ ounce lowfat or fat-free natural milk lowfat or fat-free cheese = 2 (9-volt) batteries milk or milk 1 cup equivalent products 1 cup lowfat yogurt (8 oz)

  • Mypyramid Food Intake Pattern Modeling for the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
    REPORT MyPyramid Food Intake Pattern Modeling for the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Patricia Britten, PhD1; Joan Lyon, MS, RD1; Connie M. Weaver, PhD2; Penny M. Kris-Etherton, PhD3; Theresa A. Nicklas, DrPH4; Jennifer A. Weber, MPH, RD5; Carole A. Davis, MS, RD1 ABSTRACT Modeling analyses using the MyPyramid intake patterns were conducted in collaboration with the 2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in response to their research questions and to determine likely effects of possible recommendations on overall dietary adequacy. Scenarios modeled included the feasibility of using the food patterns for lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets, of varying fat levels within the patterns, and of increasing dietary flexibility through food group substitutions. Food pattern modeling was a useful tool to identify possible impacts on diet quality of potential Dietary Guidelines recommendations. Modeling analyses can help researchers explore the overall effect of specific dietary recommendations on intake patterns.
