It’s never been easier to determine what foods to eat and how much to eat for a healthy you. The United States Department of Agriculture has created MyPyramid to help you determine your daily recommended dietary requirements. Just enter your age and your activity levels, and MyPyramid tells you the daily recommended servings of vegetables, fruits, meats and beans, grains, and milk (or milk substitutes) that you need to be healthy. MyPyramid also provides tips for determining a serving size.
If you’re interested in keeping track of your diet and physical activity levels, use the online assessment tool MyPyramid Tracker. It will help you learn about balancing energy intake with energy expenditure.
