The primary focus of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is promoting a healthy eating pattern, which includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods, while limiting added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. While increasing intake of shortfall nutrients (like calcium, potassium, and vitamin D) and decreasing intake of saturated fats and cholesterol are important recommendations within the guidelines, they are not the primary focus.
