Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 1990 edition.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are the federal statement of dietary guidance policy. The small bulletin presenting the guidelines contains practical advice for healthy Americans about what constitutes a healthful diet and how such a diet is important to health. The guidelines bulletin was first published in 1980 and revised slightly in 1985. The third edition (1990) reflects new research on diet and health relationships and on the utility of the guidelines to the public. The 1990 guidelines are: Eat a variety of foods; maintain healthy weight; choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol; choose a diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products; use sugars only in moderation; use salt and sodium only in moderation; and if you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.

Some diets that meet the Dietary Goals for the United States.
Few people in the United States have diets with proportions of complex carbohydrate as high and proportions of protein, fat, and sugar as low as proposed in the second edition of the Dietary Goals for the United States by the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs. Sample diets, including low-calorie diets for adults, were planned to meet the Recommended Dietary Allowances and the Dietary Goals. Two possible "first steps" in modifying diets to meet the Goals explored the use of: (a) Specified ranges rather than specific Goals and (b) some but not all of the Goals.
