The pyramid is a general guide of what to eat each day. The pyramid lets you eat a variety of foods to help you get the nutrients you need and at the same time the right amount of calories to maintain or improve your weight.

The pyramid also focuses on fat because most Americans diets are too high in fat, especially saturated fat.
