Eating Well

Eating well is important for your overall wellbeing.

Eat breakfast
Start your morning with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Balance your plate
Make half your plate fruits and vegetables which add color, texture, nutrients and fiber.

Watch portion sizes
A good tip is that one cup of food is the size of your fist and a cooked serving of meat is the size of the palm of your hand.

Sugar substitutes to the rescue
