"There are a variety of on-line nutrition-related tools, but the MyPyramid Menu Planner is one of best over-all. Other planners may focus on calorie counting or other nutrients in the diet, but the Menu Planner places its focus solely on the food groups, helping consumers learn to develop a well-rounded eating plan."
― Connie Diekman, President, American Dietetics Association |

"If you’re looking for guidance on how to improve your diet, the Department of Agriculture has a new menu-planning tool that could become your new best friend…. Available at mypyramid.gov, the MyPyramid Menu Planner is based on the USDA 2005 Dietary Guidelines. The Planner tracks calories, including those from foods high in fat and sugar. But it is designed to go beyond counting calories to uncovering not just the quantity, but the quality of foods consumed each
day."
