Food Guide Pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid
tells you which foods and how much of each
food you should eat every day. It is broken down into five groups, plus the
fats, oils, and sweets group at the top. Some groups are bigger than
others. Refer to the picture for an illustrated guide. Each food group
supplies you with many nutrients you need to stay healthy. Each group
contains different foods, so you don’t have to eat the same foods all the
time.
