Vegetables Vary your veggies Ø Eat at least 2 ½ cups daily. Ø Vegetables may be raw, cooked, fresh, frozen, canned, dried/dehydrated, whole, cut or mashed Ø Darker in color=the more nutrients and antioxidants the vegetables have. Ø Some vegetables would be: • Carrots, greens, beans, cauliflower, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, potatoes, etc.
Fruits Focus on fruits Ø Eat at least 1 ½ to 2 cups daily Ø Fruits are naturally sweet and great to use for dessert. Ø Fruit may be fresh, canned, frozen, dried, whole, cut up or pureed. Ø Darker the color- the higher the antioxidants Ø Fruit choices include: • Apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, plums, watermelon, etc.
Meat and Beans Go lean on protein Ø Recommended daily allowance for meat is 5 -6 ounces daily. Ø Most meat and poultry choices should be lean or low fat Ø Bake, broil, grill or sauté with olive oil. Ø Fatty fish, like salmon and nuts like walnuts and almonds contain heart healthy unsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids. Ø Some meat choices include: • Ham, chicken, fish, eggs, nuts, steak, burgers, etc.

Discretionary Calories Extras for luxury foods Ø Discretionary calories are calories that you have left over after you have met your nutrient requirements with choices from My. Pyramid. • They can be used for that piece of cake you wanted after eating right all day. Ø Think of your daily calorie limit as a budget and as you eat throughout the day, you spend some of your money (calories) Ø Well, if you have paid for all the needs or necessities then you are left with “extra” spending money for things you would like.
Physical Activity Strive for 60 minutes or more per day Ø Along with eating right, one must also do an adequate amount of physical activity. Ø This usually helps prevent weight gain and many other health related problems Ø You should strive for 60 minutes a day, but at least 30 is the least amount. Ø Some types of physical activity would include: • Walking briskly • Hiking • Dancing • Swimming • Running • Basketball/football • Bicycling, etc.
