The food guide pyramid
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 17:28Posted in category Food guide pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid is an outline of what to eat each day based on the Dietary Guidelines . It’s not a rigid prescription but a general guide that lets you choose a healthful diet that’s right for you.
The Pyramid calls for eating a variety of foods to get the nutrients you need and at the same time the right amount of calories to maintain healthy weight.
Use the Pyramid to help you eat better every day…the Dietary Guidelines way. Start with plenty of breads, cereals, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruits. Add 2-3 servings from the milk group and 2-3 servings from the meat group. Remember to go easy on fats, oils, and sweets, the foods in the small tip of the Pyramid.
