Simple Food Swaps for Better Health

As a dietitian, I am often asked, “What’s the best __ (bread, crackers, cereal…) for me to eat?” While there is no “best” option, we want to offer you some nutritious selections, and share some tips on how you can judge different foods for yourself. As a general rule – the fewer ingredients, the better, as it’s probably less processed. Look at the nutrition facts label, and aim to minimize sodium and saturated fat, while maximizing fiber. Certainly, taste is important. (If you don’t like it, don’t bother!) Price is also a consideration. With so many different products available, this guide will give you some great options on yogurt/cottage cheese, pasta sauce, desserts, breakfast cereal, & snack bars.

Check out this article for suggestions on bread, crackers, breakfast items and savory snacks.

It’s important to stress that for many people, diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to reach a healthier weight. The good news is that there are safe and effective medical treatments available that can address the biological issues that make sustained weight loss difficult.
