Low Theobromine Foods

Tip 1 : Looking for a new way to eat Brussels sprouts? They can be boiled, saut�ed, or oven roasted to go along with any meal.

Tip 2 : Tired of eating plain vegetables? Add slivered almonds or cashews to a vegetable stir-fry.

Tip 3 : Look for lower sodium choices in the deli. Choose lean deli meats instead of higher fat sausages, hot dogs, bologna, or salami.

Tip 4 : Whole grains are great in mixed dishes. Try using brown rice in a casserole, or quinoa in a salad.

Tip 5 : Eat potatoes with the peel to get more nutrients like fiber, iron and potassium.

Tip 6 : Select lean choices--like turkey, roast beef, or chicken breast--for sandwiches instead of meats with more fat, like bologna or salami.

Tip 7 : Shopping tip: Find specials and coupons in your local paper or online for discounts on low-fat or fat-free dairy foods.

Tip 8 : Puree your leftover roasted tomatoes and make an easy homemade soup. Check out recipes online for ingredients you'll need.

Tip 9 : Enjoy eggs as your protein food choice--up to one a day, on average, doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels!

Tip 10 : Does your produce keep going bad before you can eat it? Try frozen fruit instead--they provide the same nutritional value.
