USDA food pyramid guide

The USDA food pyramid guide illustrates the foundation that our diet should be built. At the bottom of the USDA food pyramid are plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, bread, cereal, rice, pasta and grain products. The top half of the USDA food pyramid are milk and cheese products, meat, poultry, fish, beans, and eggs. The very top of the USDA food pyramid lies fatty products which should be used very sparingly. When eating foods found at the top half of the USDA food pyramid, you should pay attention to their fat content. If possible, use the low fat versions of those foods.
