Food pyramid (nutrition)

A food pyramid is a representation of the optimal number of servings to be eaten each day from each of the basic food groups. The first pyramid was published in Sweden in 1974. The 1992 pyramid introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was called the "Food Guide Pyramid" or "Eating Right Pyramid". It was updated in 2005 to "MyPyramid", and then it was replaced by "MyPlate" in 2011. In January 2026, the United States Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "reclaimed the food pyramid" by introducing an inverted version of the food pyramid.
