Protein While not directly addressing the issue of protein, The Dietary Guidelines For Americans say, "While protein is an important macronutrient in the diet, most Americans are already currently consuming enough and do not need to increase their intake. As such, protein consumption, while important for nutrient adequacy, is not a focus of this document." However, they do recommend you to choose foods that contain lean protein, stating: Eat lean meats and poultry. Bake, broil, or grill food. Eat a variety of protein rich foods, with more fish, beans, peas, nuts and seeds. Sodium and Potassium Eat less than 2,300 mg (approximately 1 teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day. Choose low-sodium foods, and do not add salt when cooking. Also, eat potassium-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
