Food groups refers to a method of classification for the various foods that animals consume in their everyday lives, based on the nutritional properties of these types of foods and their location in a hierarchy of nutrition. Eating certain amounts and proportions of foods from the different categories is recommended by most guides to healthy eating as one of the most important ways to achieve a healthy lifestyle through diet. The 7 different food groups are : carbohydrates, protein, dairy, fats, vitamins, fibre and minerals. There are various systems of dividing foods into groups to develop models of optimum nutrition for humans. Among these systems are the USDA's program titled MyPyramid, the Healthy eating pyramid published by the Harvard School of Public Health, the Canadian Government's Canada's Food Guide, the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency's "Balance of Good Health" guide, the Portuguese food wheel, and others.

Q. I know the basics of the food pyramid- more carbs, a little less protein, little fat, etc. But what does that break down into percentage-wise? My averages for the last week are: Calories: 885 Carbs: 52% Fat: 21% Protein: 19% Alcohol: 7% I know 885 is less calories than recommended for most people, but it's okay for me; much more than that, and I have health problems I don't want to go into here. Are these good percentages? What are acceptable ranges for each group? Asked by Iargainn - Sat Oct 24 16:32:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Don't bother with the food pyramid - it's abysmal, and was funded and designed by the grain growers of America association, hence the ridiculously high amount of carbs recommended. I'd say around a 1/3 of your calories should come from protein, 1/3 from fats, and 1/3 from carbs. Also, 885 calories is far too low, unless you weight about 4 stone. Hope this helps.
