Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dietary pattern refers to the overall makeup of one's diet and the frequency and variety of different foods and nutrients that are consumed on a regular basis. This includes both healthy and unhealthy options and can vary depending on cultural, geographic, and personal factors. A food system refers to the entire cycle of food production, distribution, and consumption, while a healthy choice pattern and eating plan both suggest a specific focus on healthier food choices. An intake guidance system may provide specific recommendations for nutrient intake, but does not necessarily encompass the overall makeup of one's diet.
