Spoon a quarter of the eggs over the left half of the rice in each bowl, a quarter of the beef mixture over the right half, and spread the eggs and beef evenly over their respective sides. Divide the snow pea strips into four equal portions and place them in the middle of each bowl, where the eggs and beef meet.

Jackson Sun, TN -
However, "the recommendation on dietary fats makes a clear break from the past, when all fats were considered bad," according to a recent report from the Harvard School of Public Health. "The guidelines now emphasize that intake of trans fats should be as low as possible and that saturated fat should be limited. There is no longer an artificially low cap on fat intake. The latest advice recommends getting between 20 percent and 35 percent of daily calories from fats and recognizes the potential health benefits of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats."

Sydney Morning Herald, Australia -

They rated diet quality using the Healthy Eating Index, which measures how closely a person's eating habits resemble US Department of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid recommendations.
