I a little worried and confused. I look at the food pyramid and wonder how I am meant to consume all that food in one day! I think that I do quite well in all of the sections apart from the one at the bottom (bread, pasta, rice etc).
I find that wheat is really bad for my digestion and I become quite ill when I eat it. So I might only eat a slice of bread or a bowl of pasta once every few months. White rice (I know brown is best) I can sometimes eat quite a bit of it, like every day but sometimes I won’t eat it for weeks. I used to eat brown chapattis a couple of times a week when I would go round my boyfriend parents house but now I don’t. The only other thing in this section that I eat is a bowl of muesli or hot oats most days.
If I ate all the portions in this section I would be quite ill and very full, there would be no room to eat food from the other parts of the food pyramid. Is there something wrong with me? Is eating very little from this food group going to cause heath problems?
I can’t believe that it is possible for someone who is the correct weight for there frame could possible eat everything on the food pyramids every day.
What else belongs in this group? Maybe I am eating things that I didn’t realise belong in this group but I don’t thin so.
