New dietary guidelines prioritize protein, dairy, and healthy fats
The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines prioritize plant-based healthy fats and varied protein sources to reduce chronic disease risk and guide federal nutrition programs.
- This month, the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, introducing a new food pyramid emphasizing protein, healthy fats, and produce.
- Drawing on the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's 2025 Scientific Report, the DGAs guide federal nutrition programs including SNAP, WIC, and the National School Lunch Program.
- The DGAs specify that saturated fat should be kept under 10% of daily calories, with two servings of fruit, three of vegetables, and two to four servings of whole grains daily.
- The United Soybean Board welcomed the DGAs, saying they reinforce soy foods' value, but observers note most Americans still do not follow the guidelines.
- Critics say the DGAs favor animal foods, while plant-based research highlights environmental benefits, and experts recommend 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight, spreading protein across the day.
