Tip 1 : Eat the most perishable fruit first. Bananas only last a few days, while apples will stay crisp in the fridge for over a week.

Tip 3 : Shopping tip: Find specials and coupons in your local paper or online for discounts on fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables.
Tip 4 : Try making a sandwich with 100% whole-wheat pita bread, whole-grain tortillas, or whole-wheat wraps!
Tip 5 : Plunge asparagus quickly into boiling water to blanch--then add to a pasta salad or serve as a side dish.
Tip 6 : Stews can make a small amount of lean meat or chicken go a long way. Check online for recipes.
Tip 7 : Whole grains can be a good source of dietary fiber--choose grains with more fiber for additional health benefits.
Tip 8 : Fresh pork is a good source of protein. The leanest choices include pork loin, tenderloin, center loin, and ham.
Tip 9 : Serve seafood twice a week-it's simple! Make patties with canned salmon, crab, or tuna, or use them on a seafood sandwich.
Tip 10 : Enjoy eggs as your protein food choice--up to one a day, on average, doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels!
