**2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines: What You Need to Know**

The latest federal dietary guidelines emphasize the importance of a balanced diet, with a focus on protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The new guidelines also recommend reducing consumption of ultra-processed foods, added sugars, and alcohol.

**Key Recommendations**

* Increase daily protein intake from 0.36 grams per pound of body weight to between 0.54 and 0.73 grams per pound of body weight
* Prioritize high-quality, nutrient-dense protein foods in every meal
* Include a variety of protein sources, such as:
+ Eggs
+ Poultry
+ Seafood
+ Red meat
* Also obtain protein from plant-based sources, including beans, peas, lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds, and soy

**Benefits of Increased Protein Intake**

Higher levels of protein can be beneficial for older adults and people undergoing weight loss. However, some experts question whether these higher levels are necessary for the general population.

**Reducing Processed Foods**

The new guidelines also recommend limiting consumption of highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates. This includes packaged, prepared, ready-to-eat foods that are salty or sweet, such as chips, cookies, and candy.

**Hydration and Portion Size**

In addition to a balanced diet, the guidelines emphasize the importance of proper hydration and portion size. Aim for daily caloric intake based on age, sex, height, weight, and level of physical activity.

**Prioritizing Whole Foods**

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage households to prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods, including protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains.
