1. Following a healthy eating pattern at every life stage.
2. Customizing and enjoying nutrient-dense food and beverage choices to reflect personal preferences, cultural traditions and budgetary considerations.
3. Focusing on meeting food group needs with nutrient-dense foods and beverages and staying within calorie limits.
4. Limiting consumption of foods and beverages higher in added sugars, saturated fat and sodium, as well as alcoholic beverages.
