As a Strategic Partner, ESHA joins other healthcare professionals who share the USDA mission of promoting health through the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
The MyPlate food guidance system divides foods into five groups (fruit, vegetable, protein, grain, and dairy) according to nutrient content, and offers meal plans that show how much food from each group to eat for optimal health. There are many resources available on the choosemyplate.gov website to help individuals meet nutrient and caloric needs and make positive eating choices.
