Back to Nutrition Basics
1. EAT 3 MEALS AND 2-3 SNACKS DAILY. Make time for meals.Eating 3 meals per day plus snacks will give you energy that will last
all day ad keep your metabolism active. Pack healthy portable
snacks such as fruit or a granola bar when you are on the go.
2. BUILD MEALS AROUND COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES.Carbohydrate foods are the main fuel source for the mind and
muscles. Complex carbohydrate sources are: whole wheat breads,
cereals, pasta, and rice, beans, potatoes and other starchy
vegetables.3. INCLUDE PROTEIN SOURCES AT EACH MEAL. Protein sources
provide essential amino acids, which are building blocks for body
tissue. Lean sources include: non-fat or 1% milk, yogurt, low fat
cheese, skin free poultry, seafood, lean red meats, tofu, soy, egg
whites, and beans.
4. LIMIT HIGH FAT FOODS. Fats provide essential fatty acids, whichhelp transport nutrients and provide energy. Some fat is fine, yet
too much may provide extra calories to cause weight gain.
5. LIMIT HIGH SUGAR FOODS. High sugar foods like soda pop,candy, and desserts are high in calories and very low in nutrients.
6. STAY HYDRATED. Proper hydration is important for healthy skinand organs. Drink water even if you are not thirsty. If you wait until
you are thirsty, then you are already partially dehydrated. Pack a bottle
of water in your backpack.

Egg TipsEggs are a good source of protein, iron, vitamins A and D, and
riboflavin. There are about 75 calories in the average egg. Even
though eggs have gotten a bad rap, they are still essential to your
diet. The protein is concentrated in the egg white. The fat and
cholesterol is in the yolk. You should limit egg yolks to no more
than 4 per week.
Keep your eggs refrigerated!
Cooling eggs immediately after hard boiling will stop eggs from
cooking and make peeling easier. Plus cooling eggs quickly will
eliminate the green ring that forms around the yolk.
When making scrambled eggs or an omelet, use a ratio of 1whole
egg: 2 egg whites. This will cut down on fat and cholesterol andstill keep some of the flavor.
To separate an egg means to separate the egg white from the yolk.
You can buy an egg separator or you can do it on your own. To
separate an egg, after cracking egg, hold the egg upright, pointiest
end on top, as you open it. Be careful that the yolk stays in the
bottom half of the eggshell as you let the white fall into a bowl.
Carefully transfer the yolk into the other half of the eggshell,letting more egg white drip into the bowl.

What To Stock in Your Pantry
BEANS, CANNED. Beans are an excellent source of fiber and
protein. Include a variety such as black, red kidney, white, and pinto.Dont forget to add some cans of fat-free refried beans.
TOMATO. Tomato-based pasta sauce is a great staple for quickmeals. Canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and salsa can also
be used to enhance a variety of dishes such as soups and stews.
RICE. You can stock either regular or instant rice in your pantry.Brown rice has the most nutrients. However, if buy quick brown rice,
some of the nutrient may have been lost during processing.
PASTA. Stockpile pasta; its quick to cook. There aremany varieties such as fettuccini, penne, spaghetti, orzo,
macaroni, and many more.
HERBS. Although fresh herbs are much moreflavorful than dried, theyre not always
convenient. Some herbs, particularly sage
leaves, bay leaves, oregano, thyme,
rosemary, mint, and marjoram, transfer theirflavors relatively well from the fresh to the
dried.
SPICES. Purchase spices in small quantities so they dont lose theirflavor before being used. Some spices to have on hand are: garlic powder,
garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, salt, nutmeg, oregano, Italian
seasoning, cayenne pepper, thyme, paprika, and basil.
SWEETENERS & FLAVORS. Honey, sugar, brown sugar,
powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and packets of any type of artificialsweetener are essential to have on hand.
OTHER. Baking powder, baking soda, canned fruits andvegetables, canned tuna, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken,
vinegar, canola or olive oil, broth or bouillon cubes, non-stick cooking
spray.

Lunchtime: Great Ways To Eat Well Every Day
1. Enjoy a small, portable lunch. Use an insulated lunch bag to keep a slicedturkey sandwich, a small apple and some fresh veggies cold while you are
away from home.
2. Save time, money and energy by preparing extra portions the night before.Fill a container with leftover vegetables like broccoli, green beans or
tomatoes. Toss in some protein such as sliced turkey, sliced chicken or
string cheese, along with a piece of fruit and a few crackers.
3. Enjoy a nice sandwich. Whether you make your own sandwich or orderone on the go, put plenty of veggies on it.
4. Have a breakfast for lunch. Theres no reason you cant eat breakfast inthe afternoon. Experiment with a bowl of cereal and an egg white and
vegetable omelet.
5. Take advantage of a frozen meal every now and then. Try some of theleaner entrees with controlled portions. Keep in an insulated bag until
ready to eat. There are usually community microwaves located on
campus.
6. Canned soups. Some soups come in a ready to eat container. Thesecontainers are usually smaller in size. This is a good way to control how
much you eat.
7. Make your own chicken or tuna salad. If you are on the go without arefrigeration or heat source, you can open a pouch of tuna or chicken, and
put it on some bread for a sandwich. Save condiment packets from
restaurants to garnish sandwich. Eat with a piece of fruit.
8. Who says you cant order a kids meal. If you have to stop at a fast foodrestaurant, then order a kids meal. The portions are reasonable and fast
foods restaurants are now offering other side options like milk or fruit.

Crock Pot Cooking TipsBy Sherry Frewerd - 'Family Crock Pot Recipes'
You do not need to fear your crock pot. There are so many easy and delicious recipesavailable now, you can create practically any dish in your crock pot and have it waitingfor you when you arrive home from work/school. Gone are the days of mushy veggiesand tasteless meat. Here are some tips to help you create the crock pot meal of yourdreams.
Suggestions for using your Crock Pot:
Once you have everything in your crock pot and the top is on, leave it alone. Youdo not need to tend to the pot while it's cooking, and stiring isn't called for in mostrecipes.
Generally, most crock pot recipes call for 6-8 hours on low and/or 4 hours onhigh. You needn't worry about turning off the crock pot at exactly 8 hours aftercooking on low because the temp is so low your food shouldn't burn.
Make sure to thaw any frozen ingredients before putting them in your crock pot. Ifyou are in a hurry, and have forgotten to thaw your frozen ingredient, just add acup of warm water or broth to prevent 'shocking' your dish.
To speed up your cooking time, put some aluminum foil under your crock pot lid.You'll keep the heat in your crock pot and make cooking more efficient.
It isn't necessary to brown meat before putting into your crock pot, but you'll findthat your dish will be more visually appealing if you brown meat first.
Add ground herbs near the end of cooking time to avoid having them lose flavor
over long cooking times.
Add rice or pasta during the last 30 minutes of cooking to avoid mushyoutcomes.

How To Boil WaterBy: Judy Walker
How do you know whether it's boiling? Big bubbles will rise from the bottom of the pot.Big, not pinhead size. If it's bubbling a lot at the sides of the pot, too, this is what's calleda rolling boil.
You can't stir down a rolling boil, which means if you take a wooden spoon and stiraround the pot in a circular motion, the bubbles will keep coming up. Small bubbles canbe stirred down - made to disappear - this way.
One of the oldest pieces of cooking advice, more relevant than ever for weeknightcooking: Put on a pot of water to boil as soon as you walk in the door. Turn the heat upas high as it will go to achieve boiling. Salt the water if you're going to cook pasta.
By the time you chop some vegetables, the water will be boiling for pasta. Put the pastain boiling water carefully, please! Don't burn yourself. Look on the pasta package. Set atimer for the least amount of time it says in the directions. (You can always cooksomething longer if it's undercooked.) Stir it a few times.
Or throw in vegetables. After you put anything into boiling water, the bubbles will stop,temporarily. Most recipes say to let the dish "return to the boil." This means leave it overhigh heat until the big bubbles reappear. At this point, you usually turn down the heat tomaintain a simmer, which is small bubbles around the edge of the pan. A lazy simmer iswhen one larger bubble plops to the surface just occasionally.
FACT: Water boils faster on an electric element than it does over gas flames. Some gasflames may not turn down low enough to achieve a very low simmer. A flat iron plate,called a flame diffuser, can sit directly over the fire. With a panon top of it, you can achieve lower heats for delicate sauces.
FACT: The more water in a pot, the more slowly it will boil.Volume matters on this one. And don't think you can cook pastafaster by cooking it in a little water. Italians say pasta shouldhave room "to swim." It needs room to roll around.

Mouthwatering Meatballs
-either make 24 homemade meatballs with hamburger (or ground turkey), onions, salt,
pepper, and bread crumbs (if you do this, they will take longer to cook); or grocery stores
have frozen Swedish meatballs in pkgs. of 24 that taste great - this is what I recommend.
cup ketchup cup A-1 steak sauce
cup honey teriyaki sauce
1 white onion
1 stick butter, margarine, or other butter substitute
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic
crock pot (or you can use a pan on the stove)
1. Cut up the onion, Sautee/melt the butter, onion, salt, pepper together. Add the garlic,
and sautee more.2. Add the ketchup and A-1, then saut for about 5 min. Pour some of the mix into the
crock pot (or if you are cooking on the stove - the pan), and then layer the meatballs
and mix, making sure some of the mix is on top.
3. Put the crock pot on either low or high (depending on how quickly you want to eat),but watch it (hint: if you use the homemade meatballs, it will take longer. If the
crock pot is on low, you will want to plan for a couple of hours, but probably less than
an hour if it is on high)
4. Stir often, and when it is ready, serve and enjoy!

Tips For Safe Cutting
1. Have a good set of knives. Having a sharp knife is very important. Sharp
knives are safer since less pressure is required to cut through food and if youdo manage to cut yourself, at least it will be a clean cut.
2. Never put a knife in soapy water in a sink and leave unattended. If
someone else reaches in and grabs the blade, they might get cut.
3. Curl your fingers under. Train yourself to curl your fingers under on the
hand that holds the vegetables. Your knuckles should be nearest the
knife. This keeps your fingertips our of harms way.
4. Wash vegetables before peeling or cutting. This washes away anyunwanted bacteria or pesticides before cutting into the center.
5. To keep knives sharp, do not cut on porcelain, glass or metal surfaces; donnot use as a substitute for any other kind of tool.

Top 10 High Fiber Foods
Boosting Fiber intake should be at the top of the list for anyone hoping to improve
his or her nutritional profile. A diet high in fiber can help you improve your
cholesterol and keep you regular. Most Americans only get about 10 grams of
fiber per day but the recommended amount is 25-35g per day.
If you think you need to increase your fiber, then increase it slowly. A sudden
increase in fiber intake can be a shock to your intestines, but dont worryeventually your system will get used to it without all the unpleasant side effects.
Also remember to drink lots of water during the day to help the fiber along the
way.
1. Beans: Beans are filled with fiber, iron, protein and other vitamins andminerals. One cup of black beans has 15 grams of fiber in it.
2. Bran: Bran cereal and Muffins are a great source of fiber.3. Peas: cup of peas will help you fill out your
fiber quota with over 9 grams of fiber.4. Corn: Corn on the cob is great for fiber. Cornon the cob can give you up to 5 grams per ear.
5. Berries: A cup of strawberries will give you about3 grams and a cup of raspberries have about 4
grams of fiber.
6. Potatoes: Potatoes are pretty potent in the fiberdepartment about 5 grams per medium baked potato, but only if
you eat the skin. The skin is where all the nutrients hide out.
7. Figs: Figs and other dried fruits rate high in fiber. 3 dried figs equal 10
grams of fiber.8. Broccoli: cups of cooked broccoli has 7 grams of fiber.9. Oatmeal: Oatmeal has about 7 grams of fiber per cup.10.Apple: One medium apple has 4 grams of fiber.

Fast Food: The Top 10 Best Meals
Sometimes you have to live life in the fast lane, but at least know you can choose
healthy foods when eating fast food. Remember, moderation is the key!
Subway: Enjoy the sandwich of your choice. Choose whole-wheat bread and
low-fat protein.
Taco Bell: Chicken soft tacos are the better choice.
McDonalds: Order a McGrill sandwich and salad with low-fat dressing. Put the
chicken breast on the salad OR you can order a kids meal instead of a value
meal.
Wendys: Try a grilled chicken breast sandwich (watch the mayonnaise). You can
now choose a variety of sides instead of fries with your combo meal.
Burgur King: BK broiler without the mayo.
Kentucky Fried Chicken: Chicken breast without the skin and a serving green
beans and baked beans.
Dairy Queen: Choose small items. Hamburger with a small soft-serve ice cream.
Italian: Enjoy a grilled chicken or fish item, with a cup of pasta and grilled
vegetables.
Chinese: Limit the rice, especially fried rice. Get extra vegetables with a low-fat protein dish.Chicken and shrimp are great options.

Smart Grocery Shopping
1. Concentrate shopping time around the perimeterof the grocery store. Fill your cart with producefirst.
2. Watch your beverages. Choose 100% fruitjuices instead of juice drinks and beware of soft
drinks, which can contain up to 11 teaspoons of
sugar.
3. Do not shop when you are hungry.4. Think whole grains! Cereals are a great source
of fiber. Find cereals with at least 5g fiber per
serving.
5. Beware of featured items at the end of aislesand at the check out counter. These foods are
usually loaded with fat and calories plus make
you spend more money on things you dont
really need.
6. Make a list, and stick to it.
7. If you are trying to find convenient, on-the-goitems, look for foods that are high in fiber and
have both carbohydrates and protein.
