Build your own pyramid.

The U.S. government's Food Guide Pyramid cannot cover everyone, so federal dietary planners want people to build their own version, reports Associated Press.

The Agriculture Department office that manages the pyramid is programming its Web site to help people tailor individual programs

Users can index everything they consume each day and keep a running balance on calories, carbohydrates, proteins and specific nutrients. The index ties into federal food guides, comparing a specific food item or a day's dining with what the pyramid recommends. It also rates how successful the user is in meeting the healthy eating recommendations.
