The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines is designed to help Americans eat a healthier diet. Intended for policymakers and health professionals, this edition of the Dietary Guidelines outlines how people can improve their overall eating patterns — the complete combination of foods and drinks in their diet.
From The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: “The Academy supports the key recommendations of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines, which recommend that everyone ‘consume a healthy eating pattern that accounts for all foods and beverages within an appropriate calorie level.’ The overall pattern of food eaten is the most important focus of healthy eating and has been related to a decrease in prevalence of chronic disease.” See the statement from the Academy here.
