Tip 2 : Choose unsalted nuts as a snack, on salads, or in main dishes. Use nuts to replace, not add to, other protein foods.
Tip 3 : Whole-grain pasta is great in baked dishes (lasagna, mac & cheese). Give a taste test and see if anyone can tell the difference.
Tip 4 : Milk and milk products are the primary source of calcium in American diets. Use My Plan to see how much you need each day.
