The healthy eating pyramid is divided into layers of differing sizes representing the five common food groups, from the base upwards: Fruit and vegetables. Starchy foods, such as bread, cereals and potatoes. Proteins, such as meat, fish, eggs and beans.

• Eat Most – Grains.

• Eat Moderately – Meat, fish, egg and alternatives (including dry beans) and milk and alternatives.
• Eat Less – Fat/ oil, salt and sugar.
