True or False: The 2025-2030 guidelines recommend eating 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, up to twice the previous 0.8 g/kg recommendation.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines recommend 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day—a 50% to 100% increase from the previous recommendation of 0.8 g/kg. For a 150-pound person, this means 81.6 to 109 grams of protein daily. Critics note this shift aligns with the beef and dairy industries' interests, whose representatives had financial ties to the advisory committee that shaped the scientific basis for these recommendations.
