Amy, I agree. The mypyramid.gov site is strangely laid out to me too. When all is said and done, it's basically the diabetic food intake patterns, only done as a total for the day instead of as a pattern by meal.

But they do have one 2000 calorie sample menu.

Looks similar to the 2600 diabetic one I was given while pregnant, huh? Only without the meal pattern on the side so you can just portion out what you want so long as it matches the pattern.

Why mypyramid.gov doesn't just give people the standard diabetic/dietetic meal patterns is beyond me.

Then again... I disagree with the animal food requirements on there. If people want to eat these foods that is fine. But don't make it be a health REQUIREMENT when it really isn't one. I prefer PCRM's suggested groups.
