Supporters — Help MyPlate.food Grow & Stay Free
MyPlate.gov was shut down; MyPlate.food is the free, independent replacement. Supporters — people who share it and schools, dietitians & sites that embed and link it — help it grow and reach more people. Join them.
Grow MyPlate.food — together
In January 2026, the government shut down MyPlate.gov. We rebuilt it — free and independent, no account required.
You get the MyPlate Plan calculator, 1,072 USDA-sourced recipes, 7-day meal plans, printable tip sheets, and food-group quizzes. Supporters are how it reaches more people and stays free.
The wall
Founding supporters
The dietitians, educators, and everyday users keeping a free, independent MyPlate alive — in their own words.
I use this resource to help my patients visualize what the recommended servings are of each food group. The recipes are also very helpful and practical!
Hannah SandersDietitian / Nutritionist · Portland, OR · NourishThank you so much for providing this resource. I used to direct my clients to myplate.gov, but it is not working how it used to.
Ever since MyPlate.gov was eliminated, it was hard to find good information on a balanced plate based on age. Thank you for providing this invaluable resource.

An email to send
Copy this and send it to whoever manages the page:
Hi, I noticed our site still links to MyPlate.gov (or the older ChooseMyPlate.gov), which the USDA shut down in January 2026 — so those links are now broken. The free, independent replacement is MyPlate.food — the MyPlate Plan calculator, 1,072 USDA recipes, and meal plans. It's already linked from the official Nutrition.gov site. Could we update them to point to https://myplate.food? Happy to help — thanks!
