๐ช Protein Matters More in the New Food Guidelines! ๐ณ๐ฅ
The latest Eat Real Food guidance highlights prioritizing high-quality protein at every meal to support muscle health, immunity, metabolism, and overall wellness. It suggests aiming for roughly 1.2โ1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, thatโs about 80โ110 g for a 150-lb person, depending on your size, goals, and activity level.
You donโt have to stick to one source; mix it up! Great options include:
๐ Lean meats & poultry
๐ Seafood & fish
๐ฅ Eggs & dairy
๐ฑ Beans, lentils, nuts & seeds
๐ Soy & plant-based proteins
Building meals around real, nutrient-dense proteins helps you feel full longer and supports muscle recovery and everyday energy, especially important if youโre active or aging.
