Here are
a few ways to “Get Your Plate in Shape” from the food and nutrition experts at
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:

•  
  Make half of your plate fruits and
  vegetables: Eat
  a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green, red and orange varieties. Add fresh,
  dried, frozen or canned fruits to meals and snacks.
• 
  Make at least half your grains
  whole: Choose
  100 percent whole-grain breads, cereals, crackers, pasta and brown rice. Check
  the ingredients list on food packages to find whole-grain foods.
• 
  Switch to fat-free or low-fat
  milk: Fat-free
  and low-fat milk have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients
  as whole milk, but less fat and calories. For those who are lactose intolerant,
  try lactose-free milk or a calcium-fortified soy beverage.
• 
  Vary your protein choices: Eat a variety of foods from the
  protein food group each week, such as seafood, nuts and beans, as well as lean
  meat, poultry and eggs. Keep meat and poultry portions small and lean. And be
  sure to choose seafood as the protein at least twice a week.
• 
  Cut back on sodium and empty
  calories from solid fats and added sugars: Compare sodium in foods and choose those with lower numbers, and season your foods with herbs and spices instead of salt. Switch from solid fats to healthy oils like olive and canola oil. Replace sugary drinks with water and choose fruit for dessert.
• 
  Enjoy your foods but eat less: Avoid oversized portions. Use a
  smaller plate, bowl and glass. Cook more often at home where you are in control
  of what’s in your food. When eating out, choose lower calorie menu options.
• 
  Be physically active your way: Adults need at least 2 hours
  and 30 minutes of physical activity every week. Choose activities that you
  enjoy, and start by doing as much as you can.
