well I'm not completely opposed to an updated version to this pyramid honestly, maybe this is not perfect but neither is one with the carbs as the basis

Wait that’s what it looks like? How am I even expected to make sense of that? It’s just …. A collage of foods? Like no proportions, nothing. No organization either. And then a random line and the words ‘whole grains’ ‘protein dairy and healthy fats’ and ‘fruits and vegetables’ in the vertices. Is the center the best? Where is entire stick of butter girl? She must be pleased.
Constipation is real. Do you think he knows that? ...or maybe he enjoys that feeling.

NGL, I think its a good start from the usual fat-phobic bread-lubbing (sugar heavy) pyramid
Breakfast: Three eggs cooked in butter with vegetables, and full-fat yogurt with a fruit and nut topping
Morning snack: A fourth egg (hard-boiled) or full-fat cheese, apple slices or carrots
Lunch: A beef patty or chicken, a large green salad, and a small serving of whole grains (e.g., quinoa), washed down with a glass of full-fat milk
Afternoon snack: More full-fat yogurt or full-fat cheese, with a sprinkling of fruit and nuts.
Dinner: A steak or seafood, vegetables cooked roasted with oil or butter, a small baked potato topped with butter, and a side salad
Dessert/evening snack: More cheese or dark chocolate with whipped cream
Sounds pretty good to me if a bit dairy-heavy and seemingly overkill/overfeeding. I know so cuz its the opposite of the way my parents eat and espouse lol
That old pyramid that you hate hasn't been used for years...
We moved on to myplate. And this is a step back from that.
We need carbohydrates, especially the complex ones. A potato isn't the enemy. Actual carbs don't come in until midday and are downplayed.
