Eating Right Every Day A healthful meal includes a variety of foods. Eating a variety of
foods gives your body the nutrient it needs. The food guide pyramid is a tool to help you choose foods for a
healthful diet. It tells how many servings you should eat from each group each day.
The six groups of the food pyramid are:• Grains• Vegetables• Fruits• Milk• Oil• Meat and beans
