Nutritionist: A study revealed that although most adults estimated their diets to correspond closely with the recommendations of standard nutritional guidelines, most of their diets did not come close to those recommendations  Both women and men underestimated the amount of fat in their diets and overestimated their intake of most other foods  In most food categories, especially fruits and vegetables, women' s diets did not meet the recommendations
Men underestimated their fat intake by half, and though they met the recommendations for breads, they fell short in all other categories
In the study, more men than women were aware that in some food categories their diet failed to reflect the recommendations closely.
