The Diet Logs

The USDA has released a new one-size-does-not-fit-all food pyramid. MyPyramid.gov is a fun, informative and interactive site to help each individual find out how many calories they should consume each day and from what food groups.

Meal tracking worksheets, tips and resources are just some of the handy links you will find at this site, which states:

One size doesn’t fit all. MyPyramid Plan can help you choose the foods and amounts that are right for you. For a quick estimate of what and how much you need to eat, enter your age, sex, and activity level in the MyPyramid Plan box.

For a detailed assessment of your food intake and physical activity level, click on MyPyramid Tracker.
