Pyramid shows the frequency of eating from each food groups

The Food Guide Pyramid was designed as an easy way to show the groups of foods that make up a good diet. It also tells you that you need to eat a variety of foods from all five groups and how much of the foods from the different groups you should eat to stay healthy.

Its pyramid shape (rather than a circle or square) helps explain which foods you should eat more or less of. The foods that make up the pyramid’s base (the widest part) should provide the bulk (the biggest part) of your diet. As you go up the pyramid, the amounts of different foods you need get smaller.

To help you build a healthy diet, the Food Guide Pyramid gives the number of servings you should eat from each part of the pyramid every day. It usually lists a range of numbers, like six to 11 servings or two to four servings.

Most kids need to eat at least the smaller number of servings to get the nutrients (say: noo-tree-ents) they need. Nutrients are the things in foods that your body needs to stay healthy and grow. And many kids will need more than the small number, especially those who are into sports and use lots of energy.

Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta Group
This group forms the bottom of the pyramid, so the foods in this group should make up the biggest part of what you eat all day. That’s because bread, cereal, rice, and pasta are all great sources of carbohydrate, the nutrient that the body uses as its major energy source. So if you want lots of power, be sure to hit the bottom of the pyramid!
