All pyramids are built with different food packaging coming from the different participating countries and collected since the beginning of the project.
It would also be a way to discover differents country food specialities.

Each pyramid will be then exposed in our schools as the symbol of our project !

 

At School we also learned that :

 

Our food is composed of :

 

• carbohydrates
• proteins
• fat
• vitamins
• water
• mineral salts

 

 

• Carbohydrates are the major component of cereals, potatoes, rice vegetables and fruits.
• Proteins are commonly found in poultry, eggs, meat, fish, some whole grain and dairy products.
• Fats are mostly found in butter, oils, nuts and dairy products.

 

 

A balanced diet should bring an amount ranging from : 1900 Kcal to 2400 kcal

 

this amount depends on the age and the gender !

 

Each day our food should bring us an average of :

55% of carbohydrates / 30% of fat and 15% of proteins

 

 

The maximum dose of SALT per day must not exceed 6 grams !

 

 

 

As shown on the Food pyramid, a healthy eating involves :

 

Food high in salt and fat :	If possible no intake !
fats, spreads and oils :	small amount except fats from seeds and nuts that can be eaten as much as necessary !
meat eggs and fish :	1 serving a day
dairy products (cheese, yoghurt) :	2 to 3 servings a day
Fruits & vegetables :	at least 5 servings a day.
whole meal bread, rice, pasta :	as much as necessary
water :	as much as you want !
