Shanthy A Bowman, Natalia Schroeder, Randy P LaComb
Abstract
The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) encourage Americans to increase their fruit, vegetables, and whole grains intakes and limit added sugars and solid fats intakes [1]. This report highlights the salient changes in the U.S. population’s intake of selected USDA Food Patterns groups, including added sugars and solid fats, using What We Eat in America, NHANES 2003-2004 and 2015-2016 dietary data [2-4].
