Therefore, limited planetary resources are considered within the healthy reference diet proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission. The agreement with nationwide food intake was evaluated with two indices which reflect this reference and German food intake recommendations.<h4>Methods</h4>A healthy eating index (HEI-MON) reflecting the dietary guidelines of the German nutrition society and a planetary healthy eating index (PHEI-MON) reflecting the healthy reference diet were developed, with scores from 0 to 100. Both indices were applied to data from a nationally representative sample of the German population aged 18-79 years for which data from a 53-item food frequency questionnaire are available.<h4>Results<European journal of nutrition2943-2956https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11519121biostudies-literatureEvaluating the diet in Germany with two indices focusing on healthy eating and planetary healthy eating using nationwide cross-sectional food intake data from DEGS1 (2008-2011).PMC11519121Moosburger RMensink GBMKuhn DARichter ALoss JfalseEvaluating the diet in Germany with two indices focusing on healthy eating and planetary healthy eating using nationwide cross-sectional food intake data from DEGS1 (2008-2011).<h4>Purpose</h4>To improve sustainability, adjustments to current diets are necessary.
