A
September 10, 2003,
Federal Register notice
solicited comments on
proposed revisions to
the food intake patterns
that form the basis for
the Food Guide Pyramid.
This notice referenced
additional explanatory
information, including
Tables 1-5 (below)
showing the proposed new
patterns and
accompanying technical
data.
In response to this
Federal Register notice,
CNPP received more than
250 comments from the
general public,
nutrition professionals,
academics, industry,
trade associations,
government groups, etc.

Table 1: Proposed Daily
Food Intake Patterns
This document lists the
daily amounts of food
from each Pyramid food
group and subgroup in
proposed food patterns
at multiple energy
levels.
Table 2: Energy Levels
for Proposed Food Intake
Patterns
This document lists the
target and suggested
energy levels for the
food intake patterns for
various age/gender
groups, based on
Estimated Energy
Requirements set by the
National Academy of
Sciences Institute of
Medicine.
Table 3: Nutritional
Goals for Proposed Daily
Food Intake Patterns
This document lists the
nutritional goals for
each proposed food
intake pattern. These
goals include targets
for vitamins, minerals,
and macronutrients as
well as acceptable
intake ranges for
macronutrients for
various age/gender
groups.
Table 4: Nutrient
Profiles of Food Guide
Pyramid Food Groups and
Subgroups
These profiles identify
the nutritional
composition of each
group or subgroup, using
a weighted average of
the nutrients supplied
by the foods in that
group, with weights
based on nationwide
consumption of each food
item. Nutrient profiles
are also included for
additional solid fats,
oils and soft
margarines, and for
added sugars.
Table 5: Nutrients in
Proposed Food Intake
Patterns
This table identifies
the overall nutrient
composition for each
proposed food pattern
and how this nutrient
composition compares to
the nutritional goals
set for that pattern.

graphic and education
materials, which
followed the technical
revisions to the Food
Guide Pyramid,
