 * Tips for Healthy Eating!

// 3.   //// Balance your meals! Try to ensure that you get food from at least three different food groups, and be sure to eat combinations of grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy and healthy fats! //

// 4.   //// Make room for dairy in your diet. Foods that are rich in calcium help keep you and your bones strong! //

// 5.  //// Drink lots of water! Proper hydration is important for healthy skin and organs and keeps you feeling full -- helping you to avoid unnecessary snacking. // // 6.   //// Choose appropriate portion sizes! If you are staying in residence and have a meal plan, it’s often easy to over-eat, because the food is readily available. Fill your plate using moderation, and avoid processed food choices. //

// 7.   //// Include high fibre foods in each meal. Fiber fills you up without adding extra calories or fat. //

// 8.   //// Avoid breaded items such as chicken nuggets or patties. // //  9. If you must eat fast foods, choose wisely. Choose half the cheese on a pizza, limit high fat offerings like fried foods, and watch out for creamy sauces and dressings. //
