MyPlate Food Group Guide - Balanced Nutrition Visual #1356991 (License: Personal Use)

This USDA MyPlate illustration divides a dinner plate into four color-coded sections to promote balanced eating: Fruits & Vegetables (half the plate), Lean Protein/Dairy (one-quarter), and Carbohydrates (one-quarter). Each section contains representative foods-carrots, broccoli, grapes, and banana for produce; chicken, fish, cheese for protein/dairy; bread, rice, beans for carbs. The design replaces the older food pyramid and emphasizes portion control and variety.

Used on government health sites (e.g., MyPlate.gov), nutrition education materials, school curricula, and dietitian resources to teach healthy eating habits. Matches user intent for understanding dietary guidelines, meal planning, or sourcing authoritative nutrition visuals.
