U.s. Department of Agriculture: Choose My Plate

Curated by ACT

The U.S. Government's official resource for sound nutritional information points out that eating right can be as simple as increasing some categories of foods while reducing others. Basic information on food groups combined with interactive planning tools makes it easy to choose a plate that leads to a healthier life. Find dietary guidelines for the general population as well as specific audiences such as preschoolers and people who desire to lose weight. Of special note is the Daily Food Plan that can guide food choices based on personalized data.
