To help you maintain a healthy weight and fight our nation’s depressing obesity stats, the USDA just revealed a new set of dietary guidelines. But like many things commissioned by the government, the 112-page document can be a pain to get through, and it left many of us scratching our heads. Sure, it’s good to suggest that we eat more fruits and vegetables, but exactly how much? If you never sprinkle salt on your food, how could you possibly be eating too much sodium? And what the heck are SoFAS? To help suss out what all this means for your eating habits, we talked to top dietitians about what the guidelines actually suggest and how you can best implement them.
