Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, the apex body in India for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, is one of the oldest medical research bodies in the world.

Food Pyramid is a visual tool that is used as a guide in designing a healthy diet. It is developed as a guide to provide a framework for the types and amounts of food that can be eaten in combination to provide a healthy diet1.

The Indian adaptation of the Food Pyramid is divided into four levels of foods according to recommended consumption37:

Cereals ,legumes/beans, dairy products at the base should be eaten in sufficient quantity;

Vegetables and fruits on the second level should be eaten liberally;

Animal source foods and oils on the third level are to be eaten moderately; and

At the apex, highly processed foods that are high in sugar and fat are to be eaten sparingly.
