Is a tool used demonstrate a healthy Well-balance Diet. The food pyramid is composed of 6 different food groups (bread, fruits, vegetables, milk, meat & fats). And it outlines what we should eat on a daily bases to get the nutrients our body needs to maintain a healthy target weight. Keep in mind that the top of the pyramid represents the food group we should consume
the least.

Please refer to the below for examples of different Daily
Calorie Intakes tables . Each table breaks out the number of food servings per food group, you should consume based on your calorie intake. So once your find out your daily calorie intake to lose weight refer to the chart to estimate you daily serving for each food category.

Well Balance Meal is Key to Weight Loss.

Food Pyramid Tip:

Whole Gains:

Whole gains are so important to a healthy diet because it is not only full of vital nutrients, but it is loaded with fiber. And fiber increases weight loss because it flushes fat out of our system. So look at the label when buying whole wheat/whole gains and make it says whole wheat not enriched wheat or bleached flour.
