My food pyramid was quite different from the preferred one in almost all areas. The grains section on my pyramid, however,
was my biggest section similar to the preferred one. One major difference is that I consumed a lot of sugar. I consumed about 3-5
servings when the recommended serving amount is at most 2 servings. I also found that I eat a little too much protein. Another major
difference is the amount of fruit I consumed. I barely had any fruit at all and it was my smallest category. Not eating enough fruits or
vegetables could lead to nutritional deficiencies, such as the vitamin C deficiency, or Scurvy. And too much sugar could lead to
diabetes. Raw fruits like apples contain high levels of enzymes. Enzymes help your body function. Fruits have fructose, a type of
simple carbohydrate, that is one of three basic forms of sugar that our body can use as fuel. This means that fructose is a mono unit.
MyPlate states that half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables.

Conclusion Statement:

This project helped me realize the importance of more fruits and vegetables and less sugar/fats to achieve a healthy diet. I now know
what a difference it makes to eat full meals and eat healthier. As someone who is underweight, I feel more strongly of following the
MyPlate eating plan. I hope to improve my diet and make plans on eating healthier foods to help my body function at its optimum
level.
