... Having separate rows in the spreadsheet for these two dairy foods enabled the committee to obtain quick nutrient estimates for a variety of food patterns that include these dairy foods. Of interest was the estimated nutrient content of patterns that involve partial and complete substitution of the dairy foods for foods in the MyPyramid meat and beans group.
