Low Maltose Foods

Tip 1 : For less cholesterol-replace some egg yolks with egg whites. Two egg whites = 1 whole egg.

Tip 2 : Cook it once, eat twice. Make extra vegetables and save some for later. Use them for a stew, soup, or a pasta dish.

Tip 3 : Don't feel like cooking? When eating out, look for the vegetarian options on your menu as an easy way to meet your veggie goal.

Tip 4 : 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 5 : Eating at least 3 ounce equivalents a day of whole grains may help with weight management. Use SuperTracker to see how much you've had.

Tip 6 : Choose fat-free or low-fat milk or yogurt more often than cheese. When selecting cheese, choose low-fat or reduced-fat versions.

Tip 7 : Try low-fat ricotta instead of cottage cheese--it has more calcium and works great in many recipes that call for cottage cheese.

Tip 8 : When getting fast food, order salad as your main dish or substitute a side salad for fries--ask for dressing on the side.

Tip 9 : Add a tasty cheese topping--sprinkle shredded low-fat cheese on casseroles or vegetables.

Tip 10 : Instead of butter and syrup, top pancakes with unsweetened applesauce and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
