Detailed explanation-1: -MyPyramid. MyPyramid is a diagram that shows how much you should eat each day of foods from six different food groups. It recommends the amount of nutrients you need based on your age, your sex, and your level of activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -After 1992 more and more research showed that the USDA pyramid was grossly flawed. By promoting the consumption of all complex carbohydrates and eschewing all fats and oils, the pyramid provided misleading guidance. In short, not all fats are bad for you, and by no means are all complex carbohydrates good for you.
Detailed explanation-3: -mypyramid helps you put the dietary guidelines into action. each food group is represented by colored bands running from top to bottom. explain my pyramid/myplate and how it is designed to help you make healthful food choices. the yellow band represents oils and fats, which is NOT one of the basic food groups.
