Background

What is Food Pyramid?

A food pyramid is a visual tool that is used as a guide in achieving a healthy diet.

It is developed to provide a framework for the types and amounts of food that can be eaten in a combination to provide a balanced diet. A food pyramid consists of four levels that represent five major food groups.

The recommended number of servings per day for each food group is indicated next to the food pyramid.

From the bottom/base to the top of the food pyramid, the number of servings for each food group becomes smaller indicating that an individual should eat more of the foods at the base and less of the food at the top.
