The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030is a key resource to help Americans enjoy a healthy eating pattern, promote health, and prevent chronic disease. These guidelines prioritize whole, healthy, and nutritious foods and limit highly processed foods, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates. The Dietary Guidelines provide a flexible framework meant to guide better choices, not dictate exact meals. It supports cultural traditions, personal preferences, and different lifestyles while reinforcing one core goal: Eat real food.
The Dietary Guidelines is used to inform the development of federal food, nutrition, and health policies and programs and serves as the evidence-based foundation for nutrition education materials that are developed by the federal government for the public.
