Begin by stocking your refidgerator and pantry with lower fat foods. Be aware that not all lowfat foods offer the best nutrition. Read the labels to gauge the appropriate nutrition content.
Understanding Food Labels
Plan meals that combine protein (turkey, chicken, yogurt, etc.) with 1 serving of carbohydrate (brown rice, vegetables, whole grain pasta).
Replace ice cream, cake, cookies, pies, and pastries with fresh fruit.
Bake, broil, or grill fish & poultry instead of frying.
Microwave or lightly steam veggies to maintain the high vitamin content. Keep them low in fat by avoiding additional dressings (cheese and other sauces).
Replace (1) egg with (2) egg whites when baking.
