Tip 1 : Just because bread is brown, doesn�t mean it is a whole grain. Check for whole grains on the ingredients list.

Tip 2 : Keep cut-up fruit at eye level in the refrigerator. It will be the first thing you see when you open the door!

Tip 3 : Make fruit kabobs using pineapple chunks, bananas, grapes, and berries. Use yogurt as a sauce for your fruity snack or side dish.

Tip 4 : Need to make dinner but have errands to do? Use a slow cooker to make a chicken and vegetable stew with plenty of tomatoes, potatoes and green beans.

Tip 5 : Make vegetables part of your lunch every day by eating veggie wraps, pizzas or sandwiches.

Tip 6 : Make dinner once and serve it twice. Roast a larger cut of lean meat. Make a second meal using the �planned-over� meat.

Tip 7 : For hamburger patties, meatloaf, or as an ingredient for casseroles, look for lean or extra-lean ground meat.

Tip 8 : Add fruit like pineapple or fresh chunks of peaches to vegetable and meat kabobs.

Tip 9 : Add fruit to your brunch for additional color and flavor: sliced fruit or berries make a great topping on low-fat yogurt.

Tip 10 : Try this pasta idea. Grate zucchini lengthwise and cook with onions, garlic, and a little broth until tender. Add to spaghetti pasta and serve.
