That's more or less how it should be, but with whole grains instead of the ultra-processed stuff. Your diet should be something like:
Each group has sub-categories, but generally speaking, you should bulk up on grains (rice, whole wheat, corn, etc), get lots of great fruits and veggies, enough protein, and fill in the rest as you like.
