Balanced Diet
The document discusses the food pyramid and balanced diet, noting that diets should be based on energy needs, food preferences, and nutrient requirements. It outlines the major food groups in the pyramid and provides examples of common foods that fall under each group. The document also discusses nutrient needs changing as one grows, energy needs based on activity levels and body size, and using the food pyramid to develop a balanced menu. Key nutrients are defined along with their functions. A chart is included to match foods with their primary nutrients based on the food pyramid guidelines.
