Express 3 Balance is Key These three are the framework of the Food Guide Pyramid: Balance - Eat foods from all groups of the Food Guide Pyramid. Variety - Eat different foods from each food group. Moderation - Eat more foods from the bottom of the pyramid, and fewer and smaller portions of foods from the top of the pyramid. For years, people held to the idea that there are “bad” nutrients and “good” nutrients when, in fact, all nutrients play a certain role in the body. Even those nutrients once considered “bad” such as fats and carbohydrates perform vital functions in the body and if one consumes too many “good” nutrients such as vitamins or minerals there can be harmful results, as well.
