Benefits of the dietary guidelines: resources
DietaryGuidelines.gov provides handouts on Food Sources of Select Nutrients.
Alas, calories are not among these handouts, even though 75% of American adults are now considered overweight or obese.
These are meant for nutrition professionals but are fun to see if you want to see what they get.
The page lists lots of other resources.

Will these help you make healhier dietary choices?
Nutrients are not the problem; calories are the problem.
To do something about them, we need a healthier food environment.
I wish the USDA would give that as much attention as it gives nutrients.
