This is the first time since the 1985 edition that the Dietary Guidelines for Americans provide recommendations by stage of life, from birth to older adulthood, including pregnancy and lactation. It includes guidance based upon more age-specific needs, and the call to action, “Make Every Bite Count”, emphasizes focusing on nutrient-dense foods and beverages while staying within your calorie limit.
