Galactose Rich Foods

Tip 1 : Many lean cuts of meat need long, slow moist cooking--invest in a slow cooker for melt-in-your mouth meats without too much fat.

Tip 2 : On long car trips, pack fruit to snack on! Bananas, apples, plums, grapes, and nectarines all travel well!

Tip 3 : Even if you don�t eat the peel, rinse and rub fruit under running water before peeling or cutting so that dirt and microbes don�t transfer.

Tip 4 : Fresh pork is a good source of protein. The leanest choices include pork loin, tenderloin, center loin, and ham.

Tip 5 : Dried fruits make a great snack. They are easy to carry and store well. Just remember 1/2 cup dried fruit counts as 1 cup of fruit.

Tip 6 : Read the ingredients list on food packages. The whole grain should be the first or second ingredient, after water.

Tip 7 : Whole-grain pasta is great in baked dishes (lasagna, mac & cheese). Give a taste test and see if anyone can tell the difference.

Tip 8 : Make a breakfast-on-the-go smoothie by blending fat-free yogurt or milk with vanilla extract and a frozen banana.

Tip 9 : Add variety to your meals - try vegetarian options, like bean burritos, portabella mushroom burgers, or spinach lasagna.

Tip 10 : Combine plain yogurt with your favorite low-fat salad dressing for a different veggie dip.
