Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama, along with Surgeon General Regina Benjamin unveiled the new food pyramid or the My Plate icon.
The plate features four labeled sections: two larger, equally sized sections representing vegetables and grains, and two smaller sections for fruit and protein. Perched on the right side is a smaller circle for dairy and to the left sits a fork, completing the full dinner-plate effect.
Check out the USDA's website for more ideas, portion sizes and meal planning.
