Healthy Eating Plate is to focus on diet quality:

-The type of carbohydrate in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate in the diet, because some sources of carbohydrate—like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans—are healthier than others.

-The Healthy Eating Plate also advises consumers to avoid sugary beverages, a major source of calories—usually with little nutritional value.

-Use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat (olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut, and others, and AVOID partially hydrogenated oils, which contain unhealthy trans fats. Remember that low-fat does not mean “healthy.”)
