WHAT TO DO
For 2012, the theme for National Nutrition Month is “ Get your plate in shape”, spotlighting the plate nutrition guidelines. The following is a list of tips that will help you with your choices:
· Fill your plate with fruits and vegetable at every meal
· Switch to whole-grain versions of pasta, breads and cereals; serve brown rice instead of white (grains should make up about a quarter of your plate).
· Choose low-fat or fat free milk
· Aim for a variety of your protein servings (also about a quarter of your plate). Try a new fish or legume dish.
