Food Pyramid - MyPyramid

MyPyramid Food Guide.

The newest version of the Food Pyramid. These are general guidelines based on years of study. For a normal healthy diet, these are the recommended portions of daily consumption for the various food groups. Thiamin Vitamin B1 is in most of these foods, however they are in various concentrations.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's newest food pyramid guide, called MyPyramid, encourages consumers to make healthier food choices and to get regular exercise. Unlike the older model, food groups are arranged in vertical bands, instead of horizontal ones. Band width indicates portion size. The wider the band, the more food from that group you should eat.
