The Dietary Guidelines Study Guide provides instructions to fill in blanks with words that best complete statements about dietary recommendations. The guidelines are designed for persons over age two and are based on a 2000 calorie diet. They recommend aiming for a balanced diet from all food groups each day, balancing calories consumed with calories expended through physical activity to avoid weight gain. The guidelines suggest engaging in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity several times per week and limiting alcoholic beverages, saturated fats, cholesterol, salt, and added sugars.
