Food Pyramid is a visual representation of how different foods and drinks contribute towards a healthy
balanced diet. The Food Pyramid allows individuals the flexibility to choose foods and drinks from each
shelf depending on their food preferences.

Food Pyramid is designed to make healthy eating easier. It shows the different food groups and how
much of each we need to have a healthy diet. Eating the right amount from each food group is called
eating a "balanced" diet.

The Food Pyramid is a visual representation of how different foods and drinks contribute towards a
healthy balanced diet. The Food Pyramid allows individuals the flexibility to choose foods and drinks
from each shelf depending on their food preferences. It organises foods and drinks into 5 main shelves,
starting from the most important shelf on the bottom

The Philippines uses the daily nutritional guide pyramid and has developed pyramids for different
population groups. The pyramid is divided into levels of recommended consumption. Messages about
exercise and personal and environmental hygiene serve as support messages for the pyramid.

helf 1: Vegetables, Salad and Fruit (at least 5 to 7 servings a day). Base your meals on these and enjoy a
variety of colours. More is better. Limit fruit juice to unsweetened, once a day.
Shelf 2: Wholemeal Cereals and Breads, Potatoes, Pasta and Rice (3–5 servings a day, up to 7 for
teenage boys and men age 19–50). Wholemeal and wholegrain cereals are best. Enjoy at each meal.

Shelf 3: Milk, Yogurt and Cheese (3 servings a day and 5 from the age of 9 to 18) Choose reduced-fat or
low-fat varieties. Choose low fat milk and yogurt more often than cheese. Enjoy cheese in small

Shelf 4: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs, Beans and Nuts (2 servings a day) Choose lean meat, poultry (without
skin) and fish. Eat oily fish up to twice a week. Choose eggs, beans and nuts. Limit processed salty meats
such as sausages, bacon and ham.

Shelf 5: Fats, Spreads and Oils (In very small amounts) Use as little as possible. Choose mono or
polyunsaturated reduced fat or light spreads. Choose rapeseed, olive, canola, sunflower or corn oils.
Limit mayonnaise, coleslaw and salad dressings as they also contain oil. Always cook with as little fat or
oil as possible – grilling, oven-baking, steaming, boiling or stir-frying.

Top Shelf: The revised Food Pyramid separates the Top Shelf from the rest of the pyramid. The Top Shelf
includes foods and drinks high in fat, sugar and salt. These are not needed for good health and should
not be consumed every day. Very small amounts once or twice a week maximum is sufficient
The Food Pyramid shows how much of what you eat overall should come from each shelf to achieve a
healthy, balanced diet. The shape of the Food Pyramid shows the types of foods and drinks people need
to eat most for healthy eating.

Healthy eating is all about choosing the right amounts from each shelf.

Following the Food Pyramid doesn’t mean that you need to achieve balance with every meal, but aim to
get the balance right over the day and over the week. Small changes can make a big difference
