In my Nutrition Education class yesterday we talked about breaking down the food guide pyramid. My professor modified the pyramid adding a “sometimes food” section. This category includes chocolate and other delectable foods that should be limited. This additional category was an idea of customizing the pyramid to what meets her needs.
My Medical Nutrition professor showed us this picture of a homemade pyramid she found online:
There are a million versions of the food guide pyramid, but the overall message of moderation and variety remains a constant. What model/figure represents what you can follow to meet your health and fitness goals? If you take the pyramid and modify it to meet your needs what would it look like?
