This is a chart of the Food Pyramid. The food Pyramid serves as a basic guide to making healthy food choices. If you take a look at the guide, you can easily see which food groups you should consist of breads, rice, and cereals. There are the foods in the bottom level of the pyramid. Almost equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and vegetables everyday. Serving of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy foods, which include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugars should be the smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary according to your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow the Food Pyramid, but it is a good way to be sure you will get the healthiest benefits from your daily food. If you keep a copy of the pyramid stuck to the door of your refrigerator, it will remind you to plan your daily meals widely every time you go into the kitchen.
