any substance that can be metabolized and converted into energy and body tissue. Nutrition guides usually divide food into groups such as grains (sometimes including beans and legumes, potatoes and other starches), vegetables, fruit, dairy (milk products that could be grouped with milk substitutes such as soy, almond, cashew, coconut, rice and hemp milk), meat and sweets (also called confections or sugary foods and sometimes categorized with fats and oils). Other groups are water and alcohol - Italy's nutrition guide includes a half-serving of wine and beer per day.
