6 Nutrition Tips for improving your diet

• If you eat meat, eat it baked, grilled and broiled rather than fried. Take the skin off before eating chicken. Eat fish at least once a week.
• Cut back on extra fat, such as butter or margarine on bread, sour cream on baked potatoes, and salad dressings.
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables with your meals and as snacks.
• When eating away from home, watch out for “hidden” fats (such as that in salad dressing and desserts) and larger portion sizes.
• Read the nutrition labels on foods before you buy them. If you need help reading the labels, ask your doctor or your nutritionist.
• Drink no- or low-calorie beverages, such as water, unsweetened tea and diet soda.
