Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. It is important that you not only know the 6 food groups but also that you observe them, in order to maintain good health!
1. http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/preview.cgi?LPid=259 (slide down to Attachments for the pyramid with the 6 food groups. It is a pdf file so you will have to download it but it's the best way to actually SEE the groups.)
2. (Broken Link Removed) (food and fitness)
P.S. Looking at your first question, I may have misinterpreted what you need. The second site will give you more information on the 6 you mentiion. Be sure to use a Search Engine, such as "Google" and enter each item for websites you can visit.

Use each of the categories you have been given as key words for your searches. Below is the search for carbohydrates:

Sure! Here are some quick facts about the six nutrients:
1. Carbohydrates: They are the body's main source of energy. They can be found in foods like bread, rice, pasta, and fruits. Carbohydrates can be simple (sugars) or complex (starches).
2. Proteins: They are essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body tissues. Proteins can be found in foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts.
3. Fats: They are a concentrated source of energy and help in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Fats can be found in foods like butter, oils, fatty meats, cheese, and nuts.
4. Water: It is necessary for all bodily functions and makes up a significant part of our body weight. Water helps in maintaining body temperature, transporting nutrients, and removing waste products.
5. Vitamins: They are essential for the proper functioning of the body and help in maintaining good health. Vitamins can be found in a variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and meats.
6. Minerals: They are necessary for the proper functioning of various body processes. Minerals can be found in foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meats, and legumes.
