I'm not going to ask for what people eat every day, instead I want to share some sites about nutrition and health that have helped me make some better food choices, and I encourage you to share some as well.
MyPyramid.gov: Explains the new food pyramid and how you can apply it to your daily needs.
Includes:
Another online resource I want to share is the The World's Healthiest Foods List. The World's Healthiest Foods have been selected because they are among the richest sources of many of the essential nutrients needed for optimal health.
One more: The Nutrition Facts & Calorie Counter: NutritionData provides nutrition facts, Calorie counts, and nutrient data for all foods and recipes.

Includes:
- My Pyramid Tracker (I love this and use it everyday) is an online dietary and physical activity assessment tool that provides information on your diet quality, physical activity status, related nutrition messages, and links to nutrient and physical activity information. The Food Calories/Energy Balance feature automatically calculates your energy balance by subtracting the energy you expend from physical activity from your food calories/energy intake. Use of this tool helps you better understand your energy balance status and enhances the link between good nutrition and regular physical activity. MyPyramid Tracker translates the principles of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and other nutrition standards developed by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services.
- A section for kids
- A section of Tips and Resources
