We used to study a generic food pyramid that did not take into account individual needs and lifestyles...not any more. This website can help you create a healthy eating plan designed for you.</p><p>In order to create an individualized plan, the site asks for information such as your height, weight, age, gender and the amount of exercise your normal routine involves, including choices of less than 30 minutes, 30-60 minutes, and more than 60 minutes.

Very user friendly and easy to understand. A definite reference tool I use when providing nutrition counseling to my outpatients (esp for weight loss and general heart healthy eating). Also great for helping kids understand the food groups, serving sizes, label reading, etc. A+++ in my book!</p>...
