These items all are low in fat. It's what we put on them that makes them high in fat and calories. Meat, chicken and fish are not the only foods with protein. Legumes, such as refried beans, lentil soup or vegetarian baked beans, contain protein, too. For dessert, choose ice milk, lowfat yogurt or fruit.
Snacks are an important part of any diet.
Without snacks, we have a tendency to become very hungry and make poor meal choices. If you choose carefully, snacks can be a bonus, rather than a disaster. Plan ahead for snacks away from home. If you wait until hunger strikes, filling your stomach will be more important than making healthful choices. Use snacks to fill in the foods missing from your meals.
