The new guidelines suggest prioritizing protein at each meal, with a goal of getting around 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of a person's body weight each day. The government recommends protein from animal sources such as eggs, poultry, seafood and red meat, as well as plant-based sources such as beans, peas, lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds and soy.

Changes from the previous version address highly processed foods, saturated fats, added sugar, protein and alcohol.

The Trump administration announced new federal dietary guidelines on Wednesday, encouraging Americans to limit highly processed food and reduce refined carbohydrates.

Now the government’s recommendation is to “limit” drinking, without specifying safe amounts for men and women. The guidelines no longer warn of risks like cancer.
