Tip 1 : Running short on time? Use a microwave to quickly "zap" vegetables. White or sweet potatoes can be baked quickly this way.
Tip 2 : Vary your veggies by munching on cucumbers, broccoli, or red and green peppers instead of chips when you have a sandwich at lunch.
Tip 3 : Craving something sweet? Instead of candy try having dried fruits like cranberries, cherries, or raisins.
Tip 4 : Make dinner once and serve it twice. Roast a larger cut of lean meat. Make a second meal using the ‘planned-over’ meat.
Tip 5 : Try a whole-grain pancake or waffle mix to start off your day. If made from scratch, use whole-wheat flour for half the flour.
Tip 6 : Get your whole grains while watching a movie at home - snack on popcorn with little or no salt and butter.
Tip 7 : Add your favorite seafood to a salad or make a seafood omelet.
Tip 8 : Add spinach and carrots to any soup, stew, or chili for added nutrients.
Tip 9 : Frozen juice bars (100% juice) count as fruit and make healthy alternatives to those that may contain a lot of added sugars.
Tip 10 : Don't know what to do with leftovers? Puree roasted vegetables with chicken stock to make a hearty and flavorful soup.
