MyPlate illustrates the five food groups that are the building blocks for a healthy diet using a familiar image—a place setting for a meal. Everything on
the ChooseMyPlate.gov website was developed by a team of nutritionists, dietitians, economists, and policy experts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The information is based on expert nutrition recommendations for Americans two years and older from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
