Nutri: HEALTHY LIVING GUIDE THAT FOCUS ON OUR EATING PLATE 🍽️

The main message: Focus on diet quality

The type of carbohydrate in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate in the diet, because some sources of carbohydrate—like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans—are healthier than others.
The Healthy Eating Plate also advises consumers to avoid sugary beverages, a major source of calories—usually with little nutritional value—in the American diet.


The Healthy Eating Plate encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the USDA.
The Healthy Eating Plate summarizes the best evidence-based dietary information available today. As nutrition researchers are continually discovering valuable information, The Healthy Eating Plate will be updated to reflect new findings.

Indeed, there is much work to be done in creating policies that ensure there is not only enough food to sustain current and future generations, but also make optimal choices accessible and affordable to all. In the meantime, we encourage you to incorporate healthy behaviors wherever you can—no change is too small! We hope you find this Guide useful, and we wish you a fulfilling 2023.
