1 All values expressed as caloric densities from the reference diet proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission. The bars represent the limits. £ Red meat: beef, lamb, and pork. ¢ Legumes: beans and soy. § Dairy: excluding dairy fats. º Unsaturated oils: including palm oil. ≠ DGV/total ratio: ratio between the energy intake of dark green vegetables (numerator) and the total of vegetables (denominator) multiplied by 10. ≡ ReV/total ratio: ratio between the energy intake of red and orange vegetables (numerator) and the total of vegetables (denominator) multiplied by 10. ǂ Animal fat: lard, tallow, and dairy fats. DGV/total ratio: dark green vegetable/total ratio. ReV/total ratio: red vegetable/total ratio.
