What does each color of the MyPyramid stand for?

The MyPyramid graphic represents different food groups with distinct colors: orange for grains, green for vegetables, red for fruits, yellow for oils and fats, blue for dairy, and purple for protein. Each color signifies the recommended daily servings from each food group to promote a balanced diet. The pyramid's shape emphasizes the importance of consuming more foods from the base (grains and vegetables) and fewer from the top (oils and sweets). Overall, it serves as a guide for healthy eating choices.
