Dietary reference intakes (DRIs) are the standards used in the United States and Canada for the recommended nutrient intake of the population. MyPlate was designed to help nutrition planning by following the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans in providing a pictorial guide to the amounts and kinds of foods that individuals should eat daily to maintain health and to reduce the risk of developing nutrient-related conditions. A food label provides nutrient information about the item within a particular package. Healthy People 2020 provides the national objectives related to health and health promotion.
