Your body needs food for energy, growth and repair and as a source of substances for
body processes. Different types of food provide different nutrients. The Food and Nutrition
Research Institute (FNRI) has developed a food pyramid for Filipinos, a simple and easy to
follow daily eating guide. This guide is useful in helping people select food that supply all the
nutrients for energy and growth. The figure shows a food pyramid which illustrates the
recommended dietary allowance for teenagers.
Foods that contain the same type of nutrient belong to a food group. Foods have been
divided into five groups – a) rice, rice products, corn, root crops, bread, noodles; b) fruits and
vegetables; d) milk and milk products, eggs, fish, shellfish, meat and poultry, dried beans and
nuts; and e) sugar and sweets, fats and oil. The recommended daily amount for each food group
will supply your body with the nutrients it needs for good health.
