First and the foremost, what is food pyramid? Do you ever heard about this term before? Oh yes. We have learnt about it since primary school. Lets revise :) 

The definition of food pyramid is a nutritional diagram in the shape of a pyramid, especially (in the US) the Food Guide Pyramid  representing the optimal number of servings to be eaten each day from each of the basic food groups.

Prof Dr Gayene (1999) said that it is recommended to have 6-11 servings daily for food from the base of Food Pyramid. Products from next level of pyramid can be used for 2-4 servings per day and products from pyramid apex should be avoided or used very rare.

The first food pyramid was published in Sweden in 1974. The food pyramid introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture in the year 1992 was called the "Food Guide Pyramid". It was updated in 2005 and then replaced by MyPlate in 2011.
