What key features of a healthy eating plan are emphasized in both the MyPyramid and ChooseMyPlate programs?
Both programs show the major food groups that everyone should eat enough of each day. The MyPyramid graphic shows the food groups by colors in the pyramid and the ChooseMyPlate shows the foods as a portion of the plate and cup at a meal.
Both programs also show the relative portion sizes of the food groups either by the color and space taken up on the plate or as the different thicknesses of the colors in the pyramid.
Neither program shows what type of food in each food group should be consumed more often or in moderation.
