Americans should eat more beans, peas and lentils and cut back on red and processed meats and starchy vegetables.

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.

    I was literally coming to the comments to say this.

    More beans and more mushrooms to bulk up what I make for a weeks worth of lunch and I only eat twice a day now. Everything is too expensive.
