Overview
- MyPlate is replaced by an inverted dietary pyramid that reorders food priorities.
- Recommendations call for protein at every meal, raising suggested intake to about 1.2–1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight.
- Whole-fat dairy and traditional animal fats are permitted, yet saturated fat remains capped at 10% of daily calories.
- The plan urges cutting ultraprocessed products, added sugars and excess sodium, a shift welcomed by the American Medical Association.
- Cardiology organizations and experts, including Marion Nestle, question the protein focus and relaxed fat messaging, and Argentina’s nutrition community has begun reviewing its own guidance.
