USDA My Plate

MyPlate is a USDA nutrition program and visual guide designed to help Americans build healthy eating habits. The iconic plate icon divides a meal into four sections representing vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein, with a smaller circle for dairy on the side. The MyPlate website offers personalized nutrition guidance, meal planning tools, and resources tailored to different life stages, including children, pregnant individuals, and older adults. It also provides budget-friendly tips, recipe ideas, and educational materials for health professionals and educators. The program is grounded in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, updated every five years.
