The focal groups were composed of 2% (n = 2) nutrition teachers of the University of the State of Minas Gerais (USMG), unit of Passos-MG, 81% (n = 83) students of nutrition course of USMG and 17% (n = 18) clients/patients of the Nutritional Care Center (NCC) USMG. The median age was 27 ± 12 years, with a minimum of 18 and maximum of 62 years, being 83% (n = 85) female. About the qualitative assessment, the participants understood the associations presented (colors, proportions and food categories) and were able to identify what is a healthy diet and a risk diet by means of graphical representations. Concerning the quantitative evaluation, the mostly of participants pointed out that the material presented improved the concepts about what is food and healthy habits for life (96%; n = 98). In addition, 98% (n = 101) reported that it is important that more people knew and had access to the material (97%; n = 99). It is concluded that the graphical representations may complement the new edition of the food guide and facilitate nutrition education.
