The message of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030 is simple: Eat real food. Better health begins on your plate, and the focus of what you eat should be real, whole, nutrient-dense foods. These foods include:​

  • Protein foods ​
  • Dairy​
  • Vegetables​
  • Fruits​
  • Healthy fats ​
  • Whole grains​

Changes are also needed to limit consumption of highly processed foods, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates. To read the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and view new resources as they become available, visit RealFood.gov
