The Food Guide Pyramids are outdated. They were replaced with MyPlate, which seems to lack information specific for elders. Go to https://www.choosemyplate.gov/ or put https://www.choosemyplate.gov/ into the place of the URL in your browser. Use the links or the Search feature on the home page for https://www.choosemyplate.gov/ to find information on topics of interest (e.g., history of MyPlate, graphics, and a specialized MyPlate for elders).

For a history, explanation and critique of MyPlate, go to https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/pyramid-full-story/.

To download and use the MyPlate icon and related graphics, go to https://www.myplate.gov/resources.

For information about a specialized MyPlate for elders, go to https://www.nutrition.tufts.edu/research/myplate-older-adults .

Also see https://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/older-individuals.

To see all the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), go to https://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/dietary-reference-intakes
and search for "dietary reference intakes". Then search for specific dietary componenets (e.g., vitamins, minerals, water, macronutrients, electrolytes, etc.).
To calculate DRIs for an individual, go to https://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/dri-calculator/index.php.

The U.S. RDAs have been replaced by the Reference Daily Intake (RDI). The list includes only values for protein, vitamins, and minerals for use in nutrition labeling. The values for the U.S. RDAs were essentially the same as those in the RDIs except for protein. Food labeling information on Reference Daily Intakes (RDIs), Daily Reference Values (DRVs), Daily Values (DVs),, and % DVs is at
"Food Labeling & Nutrition" (https://www.fda.gov/food/food-labeling-nutrition) and "Dietary Reference Intakes" (https://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/dietary-reference-intakes).
Information from the FDA called "How to Understand and Use the Nutrition Facts Label" is at https://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/LabelingNutrition/ucm274593.htm.

Information for elders from the FDA called "Guide for Older Adults on Using the Nutrition Facts Label" is at
https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/guide-older-adults-using-nutrition-facts-label.
