Does the menu for each day feature foods from each segment of the food pyramid?
Will the menu provide you with enough nutrition?

These meals help create a balanced meal plan for two days. There is a source of protein in every meal, including snacks, though in the snacks you could say the protein is a fat. There is either a fat or dairy product in each meal, usually one or the other. Every main meal (excluding snacks) includes a grain and a fruit or vegetable (preferably vegetable). 8 glasses of water is also prescribed to be drunken each day.
