Tip 1 : Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, and fish—you can’t tell if it's cooked by the way it looks.
Tip 2 : Meat contains protein, iron, magnesium, zinc, Vitamin E and B Vitamins. For less fat, go with lean cuts.
Tip 3 : Get your vegetables while eating out. Request extra vegetables on your sandwich or wrap to boost your daily intake.
Tip 4 : Every fruit counts: Fresh, dried, frozen, and canned (in water or 100% juice)! Pick the one that works for you.
Tip 5 : Make each meal colorful by adding red, green, yellow, or orange vegetables to your plate.
Tip 6 : Enjoy eggs as your protein food choice--up to one a day, on average, doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels!
Tip 7 : Create some new seafood pasta dishes. Look on-line for easy recipes.
Tip 8 : Need a snack? Have a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice and a few whole-wheat crackers to take away the hunger pangs.
Tip 9 : Choose unsalted nuts as a snack, on salads, or in main dishes. Use nuts to replace, not add to, other protein foods.
