MyPyramid Equivalents Database for USDA Survey Food Codes
Version 1.0 
Five separate downloads are required to obtain all of the files in this database:
| 1. MyPyramid equivalents food data - |
includes the number of MyPyramid equivalents per 100 grams of food, food descriptions, data formats, model programs, database documentation, and a ReadMe.txt |
| 2-5. MyPyramid equivalents intake data - |
each download includes one of the intake files, database documentation, and ReadMe.txt |
Separate downloads are necessary because of the size of each MyPyramid equivalents intake data file (2-23 MB). Each download is a self-extracting executable file. Once downloaded and executed, the contents of the download are extracted into the "C:\MyPyrEquivDB_v1" directory created on your hard drive when the first download is extracted (see readme.txt file for complete directory tree).
The files "ReadMe.txt" and "doc.pdf" (the database documentation file) are included in each download. If more than one downloaded file is extracted, "ReadMe.txt" and "doc.pdf" will be overwritten, not duplicated.
