Tip 1 : Calcium-fortified soymilk (soy beverage) provides similar amounts of calcium as in milk. It is available in low and non-fat versions.
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 : Pack a fruit for lunch--tangerines, apples, bananas, or grapes pack well. Small containers of peaches or applesauce are easy and convenient!
Tip 4 : Instead of a donut, pick yogurt and fruit for breakfast!
Tip 5 : Make beans and peas part of your meals often; try chili with kidney or pinto beans, lentil soup, or baked beans.
Tip 6 : Soymilk (soy beverage) fortified with calcium is a great alternative for those who don't or can't drink cow's milk.
Tip 7 : What’s the issue with whole milk? An 8-oz glass contains about the same amount of saturated fat as 5 strips of bacon.
Tip 8 : Enjoy eggs as your protein food choice--up to one a day, on average, doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels!
Tip 9 : Broil lean beef cuts--sirloin, top round, or flank steak. Sliced into strips, it’s great on a salad, sandwich or by itself.
Tip 10 : Make dinner once and serve it twice. Roast a larger cut of lean meat. Make a second meal using the ‘planned-over’ meat.
