Just be careful about how much sugar you eat and try not to add sugar to foods. Talk to your doctor or dietitian for specific advice. Carbohydrates are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, dairy foods and starchy foods such as breads. You may eat frozen or canned vegetables. Condiments such as nonfat mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard are also carbohydrates.
Protein is found in meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, beans and some vegetables.
Try to eat poultry and fish more often than red meat. Don't eat poultry skin, and trim extra fat from all meat. Choose nonfat or reduced-fat cheeses and yogurts. Butter, margarine, lard and oils add fat to food. Fat is also in many dairy and meat products.
