The Food Pyramid is designed to make healthy eating easier. Healthy eating is about getting the correct amount of nutrients – protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals you need to maintain good health. Foods that contain the same type of nutrients are grouped together on each of the shelves of the Food Pyramid. It’s basically telling you to eat;
- plenty of vegetables & fruits
- a serving of wholemeal cereals and breads. potatoes, pasta, and rice at every meal – go for wholegrain varieties wherever possible
- some milk. yogurt, and cheese
- some meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts
- a very small amount of fats, spreads, and oils
- and a very small amount or no foods and drinks high in fat, sugar, and salt
