ALL CALORIES ARE NOT
CREATED EQUAL
We are not always good judges of calories, considering where many of ours come from: foods high in fat and sugar; refined
grains; sodas and energy drinks. And let's not forget, pizza and pasta. For many Americans, fruits and vegetables don't contribute
significantly to their daily calorie count. Here are some tips to help reduce calories:
REDUCE THESE:
• Solid, trans and saturated fats
• Foods with added sugars
• Fast foods
• Refined grains, like white bread
• Sodium (salt)
INCREASE THESE:
• Fruits and vegetables
• Lean protein and seafood
• Olive and canola oils
• Whole grains
• Nonfat or low-fat dairy and eggs
