  2. Too Much of a Good Thing was created with the following in mind: • All foods can fit into a healthy diet. It is important to think about what types of foods we need at that time. • A little organization and pre-planning can go a long way

  3. How to Meal Plan • Before the Store: Check the weekly ads, choose healthy recipes, and make a list. • At the store: Take advantage of unadvertised specials and include your kids! • At Home: Use fresh produce at the beginning of the week and prepare some things a head of time.

  4. Be thoughtful • Incorporate leftovers • Make larger batches of meals a few times a week • Containers • Choosing the right lunch box makes eating healthy easy and fun! • Caloric Intake • The number of calories that you should eat depends on your weight, age, height, and whether you are trying to lose, maintain or gain weight

  5. Include the Kids • Let them pick out fresh fruit and vegetables at the grocery store • Let them help you in the menu planning and preparation • Healthy eating habits they pick up when they are young can last a lifetime!

  6. Healthy Snacking • FiberStart with a high-fiber ingredient as a base for your snack. Fiber not only helps you to feel fuller as it expands in your stomach, but it also slows the absorption of nutrients, meaning you'll stay full longer. FunHealthy snacks should always taste good. They should look good too. • FastHave some nut butters, fresh fruits like apples, grapes, carrots, and banana on hand along with your whole grain base. FillingThe point of having a snack is to calm hunger and hold you over until mealtime.

  7. Keep “MyPlate” in Mind • Make half of your grains whole • Vary your veggies • Focus on fruit • Get your calcium rich foods • Go lean with protein

  8. Read the Labels • Keep calories in check so you can avoid weight gain. Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories

  9. Thank you!
