FOOD PYRAMID
 Carbohydrates are found in every major food group, though in
differing concentrations, from grains to fruits to vegetables and
even protein. Grains contain the highest amount of
carbohydrates per serving, with varying amounts of fiber. Whole
grain and bran products have higher fiber then white and refined
grains. Vegetables contain mostly starches, especially in beans,
peas, corn and potatoes. Watery vegetables such as lettuce,
cucumber and sprouts contain lesser concentrations of starch.
Fruits contain mostly sugars, though the skins do contain a good
deal of fiber. While no specific recommendations have been set,
it is estimated that 50% to 60% of calories should come from
carbohydrates, specifically complex carbohydrates. The average
adult should consume 20g to 35g of fiber each day, and limit
simple sugars to 10% of calories. That means that in an average
diet of 1,800 calories, 900 to 1,080 calories should come from
carbohydrates, and sugar should be limited to 45g per day.

Fat is a component in food. Some foods, including most fruits
and vegetables, have almost no fat. Other foods have plenty of
fat. They include nuts, oils, butter, and meats like beef.
