Food Pyramid 2000 Calorie Diet

When in school, you probably learned that an average adult should eat 6 to 11 servings a day of bread, cereal, rice and pasta, 3 to 5 servings of vegetables, 2 to 4 servings of fruits, 2 to 3 servings of milk, yogurt and cheese, and 2 to 3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts. The same food pyramid states that fats, oils and sweets should be used sparingly.
