Surfing through the internet, on the mypyramid.gov website I learned a few things that may be helpful for everyone to know for our own health. One should eat about 2000 calories a day, but this number may vary depending on your calories needs. There are two food groups that are known as "essentials" and "extras." Essentials are the food that contains the calories your body needs and extras are the calories you consume after consuming sufficient nutrients. In a typical day I eat about 2000-2500 calories and according to the guidelines recommended on mypyramid I do not meet the guidelines as I am supposed to. To conclude, from the knowledge I've gotten about nutrition I've come to the conclusion that I eat too much of the extras food group when I do so, but due to a fast metabolism I don't gain weight at a fast rate.
