a food web shows what animals eat others. a energy pyramid shows all animals that eat the same thing.

The three types of food pyramids are the traditional food pyramid, the Mediterranean food pyramid, and the Asian food pyramid. Each pyramid emphasizes different food groups and proportions based on cultural dietary patterns.
An energy pyramid represents the amount of energy available at each level of a food web. It shows how energy is transferred between trophic levels, with each level containing less energy than the one below it. This is due to the loss of energy as heat through respiration and other metabolic processes.
The energy pyramid is more like a food chain type. It shows one spesific path as opposed to many paths. *I have to disagree with the above. A well drawn pyramid will show many producers, first level and above consumers in an ecosystem. Therefore it is more like a food web.
The very best for a COMPLETE system would be a rain forest.

they both have connections. such as the food web is one "item" connecting to another. a food pyramid is going up and as it goes up there are still connections.

A food web illustrates the complex interactions and feeding relationships between various organisms in an ecosystem, showing how energy flows through different trophic levels. In contrast, a pyramid of numbers represents the number of individual organisms at each trophic level, typically depicting a decrease in numbers as one moves up the pyramid. While a food web emphasizes the interconnectivity and diversity of species, a pyramid of numbers focuses on the quantitative aspect of these populations.
A food chain is more relative. A food pyramid is more empirical. The food pyramid is more useful in determining food groups and needs.
The Food Pyramid got its name simply because it is full of the different food types.

The Food & Drug Administration has recently changed to food pyramid. For a visual picture, as well as a comprehensive explanation on how to use the pyramid, go to their web site at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/
