Both versions of the Food Pyramid include the following seven
food groups on the front side with blanks for Dietitians to fill in
the patient's specific daily serving goal for each group:
 |
High Protein Foods |
|
Grains & Cereals, Breads, Crackers & Snacks |
|
Vegetables |
|
Fruits & Fruit Juices |
|
Dairy Products |
|
Non-dairy Milk Substitutes |
|
Fats |
On the back side of the Food Pyramid, "Foods to
Limit
or Avoid" are grouped in three categories:
|
High Sodium |
|
High Potassium |
|
High Phosphorus |
Because no two patients' nutrition needs are
exactly the same (based on weight, current blood analysis, other health
complications, etc.) the Food Pyramid is designed with blanks to
be customized for each individual patient's nutrition goals, and is therefore meant for distribution by
healthcare professionals.

the "Food Pyramid for Healthy Eating with Kidney Disease" include:
