The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada have created a food guide that covers different types of vegetarian diets, meets the most recent health recommendations, focuses on nutrients of particular interest in vegetarian diets, and includes a wide variety of vegetarian foods. The guide includes a pyramid and rainbow diagram. [Link to the food guide, or view as a 5-page pdf] Rainbow food guides – Vesanto Melina R.D., author of Becoming Vegetarian (see right sidebar), has both a vegetarian rainbow and vegan rainbow guide on her website. Theses are based on the U.S. Food Guide and the Canadian Guide to Healthy Eating.
Pyramid food guides – Vesanto also has both a vegetarian pyramid and vegan pyramid guide on her website.
