On the surface, eating well seems simple enough. Eat whole foods. Cut down on ultra-processed snacks. It gets more complicated once you start focusing on specific nutrients. Striking the right balance of protein, fiber, carbohydrates, healthy fats like omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals can feel like a full-time job. Luckily, there are people out there whose job this actually is. We spoke to over 40 registered dietitians, sports nutritionists, longevity scientists, and gut health researchers, all of whom shared their best diet advice with us this year. Whether your goal this year is to lose fat, build muscle, or boost your gut health, head to the link in our bio for a meal plan full of bang-for-your-buck recipes — no guesswork required.
