According to what I've read, they're planning to increase the maximum allowable amount of Protein. It's currently 10%. They would make 20%, 25%, or something like that. I'll have to check to see exactly. I read they were also planning to allow slightly more TOTAL fat (35% vs. 30%). But, Saturated Fat recomendations will remain at the obscenely low 10% they're at now. Plus, the new proposed Guidelines would encourage Green and Yellow Vegetables over Tubers (Potatoes.) Let me see if I can dig up a link to the proposed Guidelines.
