Healthy eating pyramid

Nutrition Australia has launched its Healthy Eating Pyramid as a simple visual guide to the types of foods Australians should eat for good health.  It's based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines (2013) for 19-50 year olds.

The bottom of the pyramid includes plant-based foods: vegetables and legumes, fruits and grains, and the guidelines suggest 70% of what we eat should come from this layer.  The middle layer includes dairy foods and alternatives as well as lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds.  The top layer has healthy fats (not saturated or trans fats).
