The Healthy Eating Pyramid

based on their energy
content and the nutrients
they provide.

minimum fat, adequate
fibre, limited salt and
adequate water
The Healthy Eating Pyramid
 The base includes foods we
should eat most.
 The middle includes foods we
should eat in moderation.
 The top includes foods we
should eat in small amounts.
 The symbol for water is
included with a tick to
encourage water consumption

encourage limited
consumption within the diet.
Target on Healthy Eating

groups; inconsistent with
current food guide.

three categories:


Foods at the centre of the target are
considered to be excellent choices
as they are fresh
The middle layer includes good
foods that have some degree of
processing
Fair choices are in the outer circle
Foods not included are referred to
as miss foods.

than two symbols.
