Pair snacks with protein and fiber for more balanced nutrition. Try yogurt, fruit with nuts, hummus with veggies, or peanut butter with whole grain toast. Weigh out a healthy portion into a bowl instead of eating directly from the package. Keep fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and string cheese on hand for easy grab-and-go options. Nutrition Label Reading Read nutrition labels and look for foods low in added sugars, sodium and unhealthy fats. Compare similar products and choose the option with the lowest amounts of saturated fat, sodium and added sugars. Opt for products with short ingredient lists. Avoid foods with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.
