Your diet should be based on the USDA food pyramid
To provide you with an idea of how the USDA food pyramid looks you need to understand that you will only be seeing one face of the pyramid. On this face the various food groups will be divided into 6 sections. The bottom of the pyramid will in general have a number of different cereals, breads, pastas, and rice that you can choose to incorporate into your diet.The next section of the USDA food pyramid is divided into two parts. One part contains foods like vegetables, leafy greens, and root vegetables to name but a few. The other part of this table shows lots of different fruits that can be eaten. Above these two groups you will find that the USDA food pyramid is yet again divided into two.
