Be aware that the regular vegetarian food pyramid is not suitable for strict vegans since the dairy products listed are not within their guidelines.
Vegetarians can now refer to the vegetarian food pyramid when they plan for their diet. It is a general guideline to help vegans determine which food groups to consume more in order to gain a balanced diet. Similar to the general food pyramid, the vegetarian food pyramid is also divided into a few major food groups.
Vegetarians can obtain guidance on what foods are good for them by consulting the vegetarian food pyramid. Even then, it pays to eat sensible portions and not overcompensate for a diet that is free of meat.
Understanding the suggested portions for the foods that you eat can help you to manage and maintain a healthy vegan or vegetarian diet. Did you know that one melon wedge can be equated to a ¾ cup of fruit juice? Or that a ½ cup of rice can equal one slice of bread? Do you know you many servings of fruits, vegetables, and grains are suggested for a balanced plant-based diet? Or what amount of tofu or peanut butter counts as a serving as far as meat substitution goes?Page 1 of 11
