Three Stage Process
Dietary Guidelines for Americans Webinar, Center for Nutrition in Schools: http://cns.ucdavis.edu
Translating Science for
Development of Dietary Guidelines
Advisory Committee creates the Advisory Report and
submits to the Secretaries of HHS and USDA
The report is informed by:
• Original systematic reviews
• Review of existing systematic reviews, metaanalyses and reports by federal agencies or leading
scientific organizations
• Data analyses
• Food pattern modeling analyses
Dietary Guidelines for Americans Webinar, Center for Nutrition in Schools: http://cns.ucdavis.edu
Translating Science for
Development of Dietary Guidelines
Stage 1 Review the Science:
Evidence-Based Review Methodology
1. Develop research questions
2. Create and implement literature search and sort plans
3. Develop evidence portfolios
4. Synthesize the bodies of evidence
5. Develop conclusion statements and grade the evidence
6. Describe research recommendations

Executive Summary
Five Overarching Guidelines
1. Follow a healthy eating pattern across the lifespan
2. Focus on variety, nutrient density, and amount
3. Limit calories from added sugars and saturated fats
and reduce sodium intake
4. Shift to healthier food and beverage choices while
considering cultural and personal preferences
5. Support healthy eating patterns for all
Dietary Guidelines for Americans Webinar, Center for Nutrition in Schools: http://cns.ucdavis.edu
Dietary Guidelines: Organization and Content
Executive Summary
I. Follow a Healthy Eating Pattern Across the Lifespan
•
•
•
•
Consume a healthy eating pattern that accounts for all
foods and beverages within an appropriate calorie level
All food and beverage choices matter; eating pattern is
the totality of all foods and beverages consumed
An individual’s nutritional needs should be met primarily
from whole foods rather than supplements
Eating patterns reflect
socio-cultural, personal, and
economical preferences
Dietary Guidelines for Americans Webinar, Center for Nutrition in Schools: http://cns.ucdavis.edu
Dietary Guidelines: Organization and Content
Executive Summary
II. Focus on Variety, Nutrient Density, and Amount of Food
•
•
•
To meet nutrient needs within calorie limits, variety is key
Select variety of nutrient-dense foods across and within all
food groups
Nutrient density refers to the ratio of nutrients to caloric
contribution of a food
Dietary Guidelines for Americans Webinar, Center for Nutrition in Schools: http://cns.ucdavis.edu
Dietary Guidelines: Organization and Content
Executive Summary
III. Limit Calories from Added Sugars and Saturated
Fats and Reduce Sodium Intake
•
Foods and beverages containing high amounts of the
following should be limited to quantities that fall within
the range of a healthy eating pattern.
 Added sugars,
 Saturated fats, and
 Sodium

Executive Summary
IV. Shift to Healthier Food and Beverage Choices, While
Considering Cultural and Personal Preferences
•
•
•
•
•
Shift eating patterns to include more vegetables, fruits,
and fat-free or low-fat dairy products
Shift from solid fats to foods naturally containing oils
Increase the variety of nutrient-dense protein food choices
and make half of all grains consumed whole grains
Small shifts in food choices accumulated over a meal,
day, or week can make a large difference
Consider cultural and personal preferences to make
shifts easier to maintain.

•
•
•
Make healthy lifestyle choices at home, work, school,
and out in the community
The food and physical activity choices an individual
makes are influenced by the Social-Ecological Model
Improved eating and physical activity behaviors
sustained by considering changes at all levels of the
Social-Ecological Model
