Values in bold denote inadequate levels (i.e., either lower than minimum recommendations or higher than maximum recommendations). II: improved income scenario (diet of the upper middle group)
NDG National Dietary Guidelines scenario, EL EAT-Lancet scenario, EL-ARG EAT-Lancet scenario adapted to Argentine culture, EL-NRM same as EAT-ARG but replacing ruminants with chicken, pork, and fish, EL-LOV EAT-Lancet lacto-ovo vegetarian scenario, EL-VEG EAT-Lancet vegan scenario. The red line represents the current diet (baseline scenario)
