1. EAT REGULAR MEALS

Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating and poor nutrition choices. When there isn’t time to sit down for a meal, grab something to go; such as a bagel, yogurt and/or a piece of fruit.

2. KEEP HEALTHY SNACKS ON HAND

When you are running around and can’t make it to the dining facilities, or the facilities are closed, it is always good to have a supply of healthy snacks.

3. WHEN YOU EAT FAST FOOD, CHOOSE WISELY

Choose grilled over fried options, pizza or calzones with less or no cheese, a turkey burger instead of beef, and salad with reduced calorie or fat free dressing.

4. EAT PLENTY OF WHOLE GRAINS, FRUITS, AND VEGETABLES

Try brown rice (at the grill/wok station) in lieu of white rice. Vegetarian pizzas at the Marketplace are usually prepared on whole wheat crust and whole wheat pasta at the pasta station can be requested

5. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT

Exercising and being knowledgeable about what you eat is helpful. Excess body fat increases risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and other illnesses.
