Food Journal 2/4/09

First I just want to say that through the glory of what is my nutrition class, I've discovered the website www.mypyramid.gov. It is an awesome tool to see exactly what servings you need of each food group and what constitutes that serving. And, just pondering here, I thought that the food pyramid was a boring old fact sheet you learned in 4th grade. Apparently they've updated it and made it better; now you can even analyze your nutritional or exercise intake, along with customizing the food pyramid for your age, weight, height, and gender. Definitely worth checking out.
