| The USDA's newly revised Food Guidance System, MyPyramid, is designed to motivate and educate consumers to make positive diet and lifestyle choices. It visually depicts the nutrient-dense super foods Americans should consume on a daily basis (3 servings of low-fat and fat-free milk, cheese or yogurt; 3 servings of whole grains; 4½ cups of fruits and vegetables; and 5.5 ounces of lean meat or beans), and stresses the importance of physical activity. The system includes a comprehensive interactive online tool that allows consumers to personalize the Dietary Guidelines to their individual taste and nutrition goals. more > |

low-fat and fat-free dairy foods can help you keep calories in check. more > |
