Notice that most of your plate should be full of vegetables

• Strive for variety in your veggies
• Incorporate lots of colors
• Try new veggies!

Fruits should be whole fruits 

• Keep them washed and accessible
• Try adding dried fruits to your food

Half of your grains should be whole grains

• Popcorn, whole-grain pasta and cereal make great choices

Vary your protein selections

• Incorporate lean cuts of meat, nuts and seafood
• Canned seafood like tuna and salmon make easy, nutrient-dense choices

Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy items

• Make a smoothie with fresh or frozen fruit!
