Tip 1 : Try different ways to use eggplant: Baba Ghanoush, eggplant parmesan, grilled eggplant sandwiches, or stuffed with rice and tomatoes.
Tip 2 : Whole milk and regular cheese are higher in saturated fat. Low-fat or fat-free versions have the calcium without the fat.
Tip 3 : Make vegetables part of your lunch every day by eating veggie wraps, pizzas or sandwiches.
Tip 4 : Be creative. When apples are abundant--make apple butter, to use in place of jam. Check online for recipes without added sugars.
Tip 5 : Most people need from 5 to 7 ounces of protein foods a day. Check to see “What counts as an ounce” in the Protein Foods Group.
Tip 6 : To incorporate more vegetables into your pizza or pasta--blend carrots, zucchini or spinach into the tomato sauce. Look online for recipes.
Tip 7 : For a breakfast that satisfies (and keeps you away from the mid-morning donuts)--add an egg.
Tip 8 : Are you a fan of peanut butter and banana sandwiches? Try substituting other fruits.
Tip 9 : Make pudding with low-fat milk, and top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or sliced fruit.
Tip 10 : Eat the most perishable fruit first. Bananas only last a few days, while apples will stay crisp in the fridge for over a week.
