Excerpt

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 (DGA) recommend that Americans limit their added sugars intake to less than 10 percent of daily calories and increase their fruit, vegetables, and whole grains intakes [1]. This report compares the intakes of selected USDA Food Patterns food groups by Americans who meet the DGA recommendation for added sugars with that of those who do not meet the recommendation, using What We Eat in America (WWEIA), NHANES 2013-2014, day 1 dietary data and the Food Patterns equivalents data (N=8066) [2, 3].
