Concordia's Mission Nutrition program suggests that foods labeled red be eaten in moderation and make up the smallest portion of your diet. We are making every effort to provide you with healthy food choices that will help you meet the recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid. We have eliminated added salt and oil whenever possible. High fat food choices should be balanced with lower fat choices throughout the day, week, and longer. There is no need to give up bacon cheeseburgers and fries completely.
All foods can fit into a healthy diet.
Yellow foods should make up a larger portion of your diet than red items. Fruits, vegetables, and grains are typically low in fat and are labeled green. Consumption of foods categorized as green are encouraged. Limit the amount of added butter, sour cream, cheese, and regular dressings to keep you total fat intake low. A Nutritional Exchange Guide is available for Concordia's Cash Operations Services.
