Nutritious Foods
for the Family

4. Unlocking
Terms:
• Food Group - A food group is a
collection of foods that share
similar nutritional properties
or biological
classifications. Nutrition
guides typically divide foods
into food groups
and recommend daily servings
of each group for a healthy
diet.

5. WHAT IS A
FOOD
PYRAMID?

6. A food pyramid or diet
pyramid is a triangular
diagram representing
the optimal number of
servings to be eaten
each day from each of
the basic food groups.

9. Remember:
It is important that you take
your breakfast, lunch, and
dinner regularly. Studies
have shown that when they
skip their breakfast, they do
not typically make up for
the lost nutrients at other
meals of the day, and tend
to fill up on nutrient-poor
snacks at school or work.
