Food Guide Pyramid - Grains and Sweets

The Food Guide Pyramid shows us what is the best way to organize our food consumption.
Grains
Grains is one of the most important things you need to combine in your daily menu, but don't overreact! You don't need to much of it. Try to make at least half of your grain servings whole grains, such as 100% whole-wheat bread and brown rice. For a day you need to eat roughly that: 1 slice of bread, ½ cup of cooked cereal, ½ cup of rice or pasta and 1 cup of cold cereal.

Fats, oil and sweets
This kind of food is the most unhealthy group of all, and you need do try to eat as less as you can fats, oil and sweets.
