The Healthy Eating Pyramid
The healthy eating pyramid is used to provide eating and dietary recommendations, in order to ensure that the body's demands for all of the essential nutrients are satisfied. By following the recommendations relating to numbers of servings per day from each group, a healthy balanced diet can be followed.

Consuming the minimum number of servings in each group from 'The Healthy Eating Pyramid' will equate to a calorific intake of around 1600 calories. Consuming the maximum number of servings in each group will equate to a calorific intake of around 2700 calories. The information in the balancing calories section can be used in order to determine your personal requirements and the serving quantities from the pyramid can be modified to suit your needs.
