Short on time: Buy ready-made pasta meals and add cooked vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, or peas. Look for low-sodium pasta options.

Select lean choices–like turkey, roast beef, or chicken breast–for sandwiches instead of meats with more fat, like bologna or salami.

When choosing a whole grain product don’t be fooled by the product’s advertising. Look for “whole grain” in the ingredients list.

Make twice-baked sweet potatoes using ricotta or other low-fat cheeses in place of sour cream or cream cheese.
