To help you feel good, you need to eat right. The food guide pyramid will help you make the best choices for your meals and snacks. It's divided into six parts and all groups are important. Most of your foods should come from the five lower groups. The top section consists of fats and sweets and should be limited to occasional use.
Strive to get at least the minimum number of servings from each group. Eating the recommended number of servings will help you get all the nutrients you need for good health.
Make healthy choices that fit your lifestyle.
