On the site, a personalized “MyPyramid Plan for Moms” can be created by users. A pregnant woman enters her age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, physical activity level, and due date. A breastfeeding woman enters similar information and the baby’s birth date. Breastfeeding women will also select if they are feeding their baby breast milk only or are supplementing with formula. The resulting Plan shows what and how much to eat from each food group during each trimester or breastfeeding stage. It can be viewed on-screen or downloaded as a full-color printout. Additional information on the following topics is also included on the site:
