The Bull's-Eye Food Guide


An alternative to the Food Pyramid, the Bull's-Eye Food Guide helps individuals to understand healthy dieting. According to this diagram, a person's diet should include Water, Carbohydrates (grains, starches, sugars), Vegetables, Fruits, Dairy Products (milk, yogurt), Proteins and Fats. The majority of a person's diet should consists of carbohydrates, represented by a larger portion of the diagram. Other food groups that are represented by smaller portions should compose smaller amounts of a person's diet.

The foods listed in the center of the bull's-eye (in green) are the healthiest foods from each food group that you can eat often everyday. The foods listed in yellow are healthy foods that can be eaten everyday as well. The foods listed in the red, however, are foods that can be eaten after you stop and consider how many foods you have eaten from the red section in other food groups that day.

Thank you for making this guide . . I had heard of it years ago. I truly believe it is the best visual to show us how to eat healthy.

I would like to know the cost of the small group licensing agreement. Who can I contact?
The phone number on the information is not a working number.
