Here are a few tips to help you make wise food choices for healthy eating on the run:

  • Make milk or a low-fat shake your beverage for an extra calcium boost
  • Go for grilled, broiled, or steamed foods more often than fried foods
  • Enjoy ethnic foods such as Chinese stir-fry, vegetable-stuffed pita or a Mexican burrito. Go easy on the sour cream, cheese and guacamole
  • Add tomato, peppers and other vegetables to all kinds of sandwiches to boost nutrients
  • Be sizewise about muffins, bagels, croissants and biscuits. Jumbo sizes have jumbo fat grams and calories

Consumers want fast, easy and good tasting foods to fit a busy lifestyle. Eating out has become part of the American lifestyle. Food is available almost everywhere we go: businesses, schools, drugstores, convenience stores, supermarkets, vending machines, sports and cultural events and recreation centers.
