Summary
A U.S. nutrition panel recommends the 2025 dietary guidelines focus on increasing vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while reducing red and processed meats, added sugars, and saturated fats.
The panel, using a “health equity lens,” also highlighted the role of income and culture in dietary habits.
However, it avoided conclusions on ultraprocessed foods and alcohol due to insufficient evidence.
Most Americans fail to meet current guidelines, with over half facing diet-related chronic conditions. Public feedback is invited, and final guidelines will be released in 2025 by HHS and USDA.
beans, chickpeas or lentils + season vegetables and spices. I cook once on Sunday and I have a curry, a soup or a chili for the week.
I started eating chickpeas a few weeks ago after adding them to a salad on a whim and I am upset nobody forced me to try them earlier, they’re awesome.
Sometimes I open a can of chickpeas and just eat them with a spoon.
