  2. Nutri-Bitessm Webinar Summary How Does MyPyramid Compare to Other Population Based Recommendations? • Remarkable consistency between MyPyramid recommendations for general health and those aimed at diet-related conditions • Food intake recommendations of MyPyramid similar to those recommended by DASH, AHA and American Cancer Society • Nutrient intake recommendations of MyPyramid generally consistent with nutrient ranges of other authoritative groups • Nutrition professionals should be aware of the underlying assumptions of MyPyramid in order to help guide consumers toward appropriate choices and conform to dietary guidance

  3. Principles Underlying MyPyramid • Cover a range of energy needs • Feature commonly eaten foods (All foods “fit”; but some create potential for greater imbalance) • Meet nutrient needs • Control overconsumption (Energy level selection and adherence) • Form a total, rather than foundational, diet

  4. Providing a Total, Rather Than Foundation, Diet

  5. Remarkable Consistency between MyPyramid and Other Recommendations • Clinical Guidelines on Overweight and Obesity in Adults (CGOOA) • American Diabetes Association (ADA) • National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) • American Heart Association (AHA) • National Committee on High Blood Pressure (NCHBP) • American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) • Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Eating Plan (DASH) • American Cancer Society (ACS)

  6. Nutrient Recommendations Fairly Consistent

  7. Food Recommendations Fairly Consistent

  8. Implications for Research and Practice Communications and behavioral research needed Meanwhile, nutrition professionals should… Be mindful of underlying assumptions Help guide consumers toward appropriate choices Advocate for healthier food environment
