"Diet quality" refers to the overall nutritional value and healthiness of the food and beverages an individual consumes. It refers to making good choices about what you eat to ensure you get all the necessary nutrients your body needs, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fibers. A high
diet quality means eating more whole and minimally processed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while limiting the consumption of sugary drinks, processed snacks, and foods high in unhealthy fats.
