317/365 Goodbye Pyramid, Hello MyPlate

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

The USDA has entered the digital age with the help of Michelle Obama. Instead of the outdated pyramid or even the updated pyramid, we've got MyPlate. It's a handy dandy icon that is easy to digest (pun intended!) to clarify what exactly you should be eating.  If you go back to the post I wrote awhile back, you'll see that it looks about the same, yay.

In health,

Lauren
