CENTENNIAL, Colo. (RFD News) — Newly updated dietary guidelines are recommending more protein each day as families head into the school year.
Registered dietitian Amy Goodson joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the new recommendations and ways families can incorporate more protein into meals.
In her conversation with RFD News, Goodson said the guidelines reflect newer research showing people need more protein than previously thought. She said children may eat three meals a day but still fall short when those meals contain little protein.
Goodson said beef can help families meet those needs while providing other essential nutrients. For busy school days, she recommended incorporating beef into familiar meals that can be prepared ahead of time or made with leftovers.
