  1. a All 3 dietary patterns were isocaloric and were similarly healthful in that they were reduced in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and had higher levels of fiber, potassium, calcium, and magnesium relative to a typical American diet. Micronutrient targets and fiber (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) are provided for the 2,100-kcal intake. The carbohydrate-rich dietary pattern was designed to be similar to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet
  2. b Plant sources of protein include grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and soy
  3. c Sources of mono- and polyunsaturated fat included oils (olive, canola, and safflower), and nuts and seeds
