Food Guides

Food guides based on nutrient requirements and food composition have been around since the end of the 19th century. In the beginning, the recommendations have been provided in the form of lists, and general guidelines. Over time, it became clear that visual guides work better, hence many countries adopted pyramid or plate-looking guides.

Plate Guides

Today, plate-looking guides are probably the most popular ones. Most famous plate guides are listed below.

  1. USDA MyPlate.
  2. Canada Food Guide.
  3. Harvard School of Public Health Healthy Eating Plate.
  4. NHS EatWell Guide.


These guides are popular as they provide the public with clear, actionable, and straightforward recommendations on how to create daily meals in accordance with common healthy eating recommendations.
