"Among the changes from the previous version, issued in 2020: "Highly processed foods": It urges avoiding "packaged, prepared, ready-to-eat or other foods that are salty or sweet, such as chips, cookies and candy." Saturated fats: Butter and beef tallow are included as recommended whole-food sources of saturated fats. Protein: The previous recommendations called for 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (0.36 grams per pound of body weight) - about 54 grams daily for a 150-pound person."
"The new recommendation is 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. An average American man consumes about 100 grams of protein per day. Added sugar: Previous guidelines recommended limiting added sugars to 10% of daily calories, but to aim for less. That's about 12 teaspoons a day in a 2,000-calorie daily diet. The new document says no one meal should contain more than 10 grams of added sugars, or about 2 teaspoons."
Health and Agriculture secretaries released the 2025–2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines updating healthy diet recommendations. The guidelines urge avoiding highly processed packaged ready-to-eat salty or sweet foods such as chips, cookies and candy. The guidelines list butter and beef tallow as recommended whole-food sources of saturated fats. Protein recommendations increase from 0.8 grams per kilogram to 1.2–1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight, while noting average American men consume about 100 grams daily. Added-sugar guidance shifts from a 10% daily-calorie limit to no more than 10 grams per meal. Alcohol guidance changes to a general recommendation to consume less alcohol for better health.
