Nutrition for the General Public

WIC Logo

The Pyramid has changed! And it's personal.

What's New?

A few things you can find out are:

  • The number of calories to eat every day
  • How many servings to eat from each food group
  • The type of foods to eat from each good group
  • How much physical activity to have every day

Who is the Pyramid for?

  • MyPyramid nutrition information is for persons who are older than 2 years old who do not have a medical condition. Persons with health conditions should see a doctor first.
  • Who should not use the Pyramid for diet information?
  • MyPyramid does not offer dietary guidance for pregnant, breastfeeding or postpartum women. WIC participants can get this information from their local WIC Nutritionist.
  • MyPyramid is not for infants (0 to 12 months old) or children who are under two years old. WIC participants can get this information from their local WIC Nutritionist.
