- Fill half of your plate with fruits and veggies – this MyPlate recommendation is a good way to fill up on essential vitamins and minerals with fewer calories and less fat and sodium.
- Look for healthier choices on the menu – more and more restaurants are adding healthier choices and highlighting them on menu boards, in nutritional handouts and on apps and websites like HealthyDiningFinder.com.
- Moderation is key – be aware of serving sizes, which can be larger in restaurants, and pair foods that may not be the healthiest choices with fruits, veggies and other healthy choices.
