Move Over MyPyramid. Hello MyPlate.

“MyPlate” has replaced MyPyramid as the new symbol for healthy eating.  The “MyPlate” symbol aims to show healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.  Even though there is a new symbol, the recommendations for healthy eating remain virtually unchanged.  It is important that we enjoy our food and balance calories by enjoying smaller amounts of food.  As well as limit foods high in sodium, added sugars, and refined grains.
