Tip 3 : Instead of high fat pasta sauces like alfredo, try part-skim ricotta mixed with pesto for a creamy sauce.
Tip 4 : 1 cup cooked pasta or macaroni counts as 2 oz of grains. Use My Plan to find out how many ounces of grains per day you need.

Tip 9 : Tuna and a few whole wheat crackers make a great snack.
Tip 10 : Having a snack attack? Reach for whole-wheat crackers - top them with hummus or a little peanut butter.
