The food guide pyramid (historical) known as the food pyramid, and formally titled the Improved American Food Guide Pyramid, was published by the FDB in Denmark in 1978 and later adopted by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) in 1992 to replace the earlier food groups classification system. The food guide pyramid suggested optimal nutrition guidelines for each food category, per day, using a mnemonic graphic of a pyramid with horizontal dividing lines to represent suggested percentages of the daily diet for each food group. Currently published every five years, an update to the 2005 system is expected in 2010.

Carbohydrate group

Carbohydrates an ideal source of energy for the body. This is because they can be converted quicker into glucose, the form of sugar that's transported and used by the body, than can proteins or fats. Even so, a diet too high in carbohydrates can upset the delicate balance of a body's blood sugar level, resulting in fluctuations in energy and mood that leave one feeling irritated and tired.
