MyPlate is the latest graphic from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) designed to represent a healthful approach to eating that promotes health and reduces risk of disease. The graphic uses a place setting to illustrate the familiar five food groups, Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein Foods and Dairy. Choosing nutrient-rich foods in amounts that support a healthy weight are two keys to building a healthful diet.

MyPlate es la representaci&oacute;n gr&aacute;fica hecha por el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) para representar un enfoque saludable de la alimentaci&oacute;n que promueve la salud y reduce el riesgo de enfermedades. El gr&aacute;fico utiliza un entorno de lugar para ilustrar los cinco grupos de alimentos para la familia: verduras, frutas, granos, alimentos proteicos y productos l&aacute;cteos. Elegir alimentos ricos en nutrientes en cantidades que apoyen un peso saludable es clave para construir una dieta saludable.
