  • First and foremost, the committee recommends eating more bean s, peas and lentils, while reducing the intake of red and processed meats. Beans, peas and lentils are lower in saturated fat than red meat, and they contain fiber.

The 2025 U.S. Dietary Guidelines are set to emphasize a shift towards plant-based foods, reflecting a growing body of research that supports the health benefits of such diets.
