https://myplate.food/whats-new The MyPlate.food changelog: new calculators, German as a fifth language, the MyPlate Tracker, revived printables and quizzes, meal plans by calorie level, and the German-speaking guidelines hub. en-US Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-11-guideline-watch-launch https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-11-guideline-watch-launch Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT One page that answers "did the guidelines change?" — dated, sourced, and updated as it happens at Guideline Watch. Official dietary guidance changed a lot lately: the US retired MyPlate as its federal icon in January, and Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico, and South Korea all revised their guidance within the last two years. Most of those changes got almost no plain-language coverage. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-11-dach-hub https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-11-dach-hub Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Our first German-primary guideline hub — explore it from the Ernährungspyramide home. Eight new pages document the BZfE Ernährungspyramide, the DGE-Ernährungskreis and its 2024 recommendations, and the Austrian and Swiss models — all four renewed in 2024. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-10-german-locale https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-10-german-locale Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT German joins as our fifth language, top to bottom. The full site — calculators, food groups, portions, and all 1,072 recipes — now ships in German, alongside English, Spanish, Korean, and French. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-10-share-results https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-10-share-results Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Made for clinicians and teachers who need a result to stay put. Every calculator result can now be shared as a link that reopens the exact same numbers forever, even as we add new options — the snapshot travels in the link itself and never touches our servers. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-10-nav-redesign https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-10-nav-redesign Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Less to scan, clearer labels. Dietary guidelines moved into the Learn menu as a directory, the main calculator is now simply the “MyPlate Calculator”, and the language menu shows full native names (Deutsch, Español, …). https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-02-tracker-v2 https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-07-02-tracker-v2 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Logging a meal now visibly fills your plate. The tracker is now a full dashboard section — a calorie ring, a USDA-faithful plate that fills by food group, a navigable week strip, and bottom-sheet logging. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-06-18-printables-quizzes https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-06-18-printables-quizzes Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Free for classrooms. The USDA “10 Tips” series returns as 12 print-ready tip sheets — plus 14 Spanish ones, including two recovered originals — and the food-group quizzes are back with the original questions. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-06-15-calculators-expansion https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-06-15-calculators-expansion Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT More tools, and every one shows its work. Seven new tools joined — 1RM, water, FFMI, waist ratios, lean mass, and weight-loss percentage among them. https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-06-12-meal-planner-hub https://myplate.food/whats-new#2026-06-12-meal-planner-hub Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT A week of meals at your calorie target, ready to print. Free 7-day meal plans built entirely from the USDA recipe corpus, at every calorie level, with a weekly planner and print layouts.
