Based on data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005 to 2006 (two 24-hour dietary recalls per person, with SDs adjusted for within- and between-person variation). All values are energy adjusted, and for comparability, means and proportions are reported for a 2000-kcal/d diet. To obtain actual mean consumption levels, multiply group means by group-specific total caloric consumption divided by 2000. Each of these guidelines is age-appropriately adjusted to a 2000-kcal/d diet, as for adults.
