Tips for Making Healthy Kids Food Choices When Eating

Try these these healthy deli or ethnic foods

Deli sndwiches:

1. Choose lean meats such as chicken breast, lean ham or roast beef, instead of salami or bacon

2. Ask for 100% whole wheat bread for sandwiches. Skip the higher fat, lower fiber croissants

and biscuits

3. Add low fat salad dressings instead of special sauces or mayonnaise

4. Choose baked chips or pretzels instead of regular potato chips

Mexican food:

1. Choose grilled soft tacos or burritos instead of a crispy shell or gordita-type burritos

2. Black beans are a better choice because they have less fat than refried beans

3. Ahhh, the Mexican condiments! Salsa is low in calories and fat and it makes a great

substitute for sour cream, guacamole and cheese

Asian food:

1. Steamed brown rice has more nutrients and less calories than fried rice

2. Stir fried, steamed, roasted or broiled dishes are healthier choices than battered or deep fried

3. Sauces such as low sodium soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, wasabi, or ginger are better choices

than sweet and sour sauce or coconut milk
