MyPyramid lets you create your own personalized weight loss plan without worrying about falling short on nutrition. And unlike most diet plans, it also allows you to factor in physical activity level.

By filling your plate with foods loaded with nutrients but low in calories, you'll get all the fiber, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals you need. You may also find yourself feeling satisfied on fewer calories. Here's a taste of what a 2,000-calorie-a-day meal plan includes:

Day One

Breakfast:
Spicy breakfast burrito (tortilla, scrambled egg, black beans and salsa)
1 cup orange juice
1 cup fat-free milk

Lunch:
A "deli special" roast beef or chicken sandwich on whole-grain bread (with lettuce, sauteed mushrooms, part-skim mozzarella, and yellow mustard)
3/4 cup baked potato wedges

Dinner:
5-ounce broiled salmon (stuffed with bread crumbs, celery, and onions) served with rice and slivered almonds
1/2 cup steamed broccoli
1 cup fat-free milk

Snacks:
1 cup cantaloupe
