Top 10 sources of calories in the U.S. diet
https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthy-eating...ign=buffer
According to the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (a panel of 13 nutrition experts charged with helping develop federal nutrition standards), Americans are eating many more calories than they used to.
Very few people follow the federal dietary guidelines, which recommend daily servings of dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat milk and milk products. Instead, we eat foods full of refined grains, sugar, fat, and calories — just check out the list of "What Americans Eat" below.
This is one Top 10 list you don't want to make. Take a look and see what you can do to get closer to the recommended dietary guidelines.
