The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (1) form the basis for Federal nutrition policy. To help consumers put the Dietary Guidelines into practice, MyPyramid translates them into food-based recommendations (2). MyPyramid daily food intake patterns identify the types and amounts of foods to eat each day to meet nutrient needs, while putting limits on food components typically consumed in excess in the American diet (3). Dietary patterns that follow this guidance may help people reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic disease, and promote overall health (1).
