Tip 1 : Calcium is a nutrient of public health concern. You can meet your calcium needs by drinking fat-free milk or eating low-fat yogurt.
Tip 2 : Instead of a donut, pick yogurt and fruit for breakfast!
Tip 3 : Make a switch to fat-free milk. If you currently drink whole milk, first switch to reduced fat (2%), then low-fat (1%), and then fat-free (skim).
Tip 4 : Try a new fruit. Fruits vary in vitamins and minerals--mix it up to get the essential nutrients.
Tip 5 : Search for recipes online to make some of your favorite vegetables.
Tip 6 : Make the majority of your choices whole or cut-up fruit rather than juice to get fiber.
Tip 7 : Add veggies to any meal when you are in a hurry. Healthy short cuts include packaged shredded carrots or salads in a bag.
Tip 8 : Add halved grapes to your chicken salad. Serve on a bed of greens or in a pita sandwich.
Tip 9 : For a breakfast that satisfies (and keeps you away from the mid-morning donuts)--add an egg.
Tip 10 : Jazz up the standard breakfast--add blueberries, sliced banana, and other fruits on cereal or oatmeal--or have a grapefruit.
