Food Pyramid is a list of dietary guidelines issued by the food and drug administration which has guidelines that instruct healthy eating from infancy, (includes healthy eating for pregnant women; so it actually starts from conception), through adulthood and includes choices made due to disease and medical advice.
Food pyramid can assist a person in making healthy choices by enabling one to create a diet diary, whereby you can trace and evaluate food consumed in their entirety, to fit the dietary guidelines issued by the administration.
Guidelines include, but are not restricted to portion sizes, caloric content, food constituents etc, all geared towards helping a consumer, in achieving a healthier status thorugh healthy eating.
