The Right Steps to a Healthier Lifestyle

We all know that living a balanced, healthier lifestyle is as much about what we do as what we eat. That's why the USDA released MyPyramid in 2005.

The MyPyramid shows a person climbing stairs, emphasizing the importance of daily activity in maintaining a healthy weight. Bands of color now represent each food group, to illustrate how all foods work together to keep us going every day. Portions are given in cups and ounces as well, making them easier to understand.

Explore MyPyramid to learn how you can make smart choices from every food group, balance your food and physical activity, and get the most nutrition from your calories.
