What is a Food Pyramid?

The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans are the basis for Federal nutrition policy. The MyPyramid Food Guidance System provides food-based guidance to help implement the recommendations of the Guidelines. An important complementary tool is the Nutrition Facts label on food products.

MyPyramid is the new version of the traditional USDA pyramid, replacing the Food Guide Pyramid that has been in use for the past several years.
