The Food Guide Pyramid is a description of what to eat each day based on the Dietary Guidelines. It is
not a rigid prescription but a general guide that helps you choose a healthful diet that's right for you. The pyramid
calls for eating a variety of foods to get the nutrients you need and at the same time the right amount of calories to maintain
a healthy weight. Use the pyramid to help you eat better every day. Start at the pyramid base with plenty of breads,
cereals, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruits. Add 2-3 servings from the milk group and 2-3 servings from the meat group.
Oils and sweets are at the top of the pyramid.
