The MyPlate method is a USDA-established approach to healthy eating that advocates for getting adequate amounts of all 5 food groups: Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Proteins, and Dairy. It uses a plate with colorful sectioned off areas to demonstrate healthy portion sizes for each of the food groups.

Using the Product: The MyPlate Portion Control Plate is a product modeled after the MyPlate method. It is divided into 4 sections, with slightly smaller fruit and protein sections combined with slightly larger vegetable and grain areas. Though the plate itself doesn’t feature a dairy section, users are encouraged to add dairy to their diet either in a separate bowl, cup, or topping somewhere on the plate. This helps users create balanced meals that comply with their dietary restrictions.
