The sample meal and snack patterns can help you translate MyPyramid Plan daily amounts into individual meals and snacks.
Meal and Snack Patterns
For each MyPyramid Plan calorie level there are two different sample Meal and Snack Patterns. These patterns are examples of how the MyPyramid Plan can be divided into meals and snacks for a preschooler. There are many ways to divide the amounts recommended from each food group into daily meals and snacks.
Meal
and Snack Ideas list several specific food ideas for each meal and snack in each pattern. Use these sample meals and snacks for ideas on how to increase the variety of foods you serve.
Notes for using the Meal and Snack Ideas
