Healthier Eating Tidbits

[Guest guest]

Healthier Eating Tidbits:

 

* Keep a bowl of cut-up vegetables on the top shelf of

the refrigerator. (Use the salad bar to buy cut-up

fruits/vegetables if you're in a hurry).

 

* Increase portions when you serve vegetables and fruits.

Season them the low fat way with herbs, spices, and lemon

juice. If sauce is used, choose a nonfat or low-fat sauce.

 

* Choose fruit for dessert. For a special dessert, try a

fruit parfait with low-fat yogurt or sherbet topped with

berries.

 

* Choose whole grain varieties of bread, muffins, bagels

and rolls (whole wheat, bran, oatmeal, multigrain).

 

* Use nonfat or lower fat spreads, such as jelly or jam,

fruit spread, apple butter, nonfat or reduced-calorie

mayonnaise, nonfat margarine, or mustard.

 

* Try small amounts of these low-fat treats: fig bars,

vanilla wafers, ginger snaps, angel food cake, jelly beans,

gum drops, hard candy, puddings made with low-fat (1

percent) skim milk, nonfat frozen yogurt with a fruit

topping, or fruit Popsicles.

Try pretzels or popcorn without butter or oil for an

unsweetened treat.
