USDA Pyramid
MyPyramid Food Guidance System is
published by The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, an organization
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was established in 1994 to improve
the nutrition and well-being of Americans.
MyPyramid Tracker - is an
online dietary and physical activity assessment tool that provides information
on your diet quality, physical activity status, related nutrition messages,
and links to nutrient and physical activity information. The Food Calories/Energy
Balance feature automatically calculates your energy balance by subtracting
the energy you expend from physical activity from your food calories/energy
intake. Use of this tool helps you better understand your energy balance
status and enhances the link between good nutrition and regular physical activity.
MyPyramid Tracker translates the principles of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines
for Americans and other nutrition standards developed by the U.S. Departments
of Agriculture and Health and Human Services.
