Pinggang

pinoy
The Pinggang Pinoy is not meant to replace the current Food Guide Pyramid. Rather, it aims to
serve as a complementing and supplementing tool that will guide Filipinos in visualizing the
recommended proportions per meal, per food group (Go, Grow, and Glow). Half of a Pinggang
Pinoy should have fruits and vegetables (Glow). Vegetable portions should be larger. The other
half of the plate is divided into rice (Go) and fish (Grow) with rice having a bigger portion size.
The glass beside the plate represents water, which emphasizes the importance of drinking lots
of water and less sugary beverages. Pinggang Pinoy also encourages regular exercise or
physical activity in addition to healthy diet. Both are essential components of a healthy lifestyle.
