Most “multigrain” breads contain more white flour than whole grains. This bread has as little as two grams of fiber in two slices. A better choice would be 100% whole wheat bread which contains six grams of fiber in the same two slices.

A turkey sandwich is an excellent choice for lunch. But watch out -- simply adding cheese and mayonnaise adds 300 calories and loads of saturated fat. Instead, add avocado slices which provide healthy fat along with fresh vegetables.

Rarely order a burger and fries? Good decision. A typical restaurant hamburger and fries have over 1,000 calories. Yet choosing a healthier option isn't always obvious. A chicken caesar salad from a restaurant can contain over 800 calories!

Now is the time to seek professional nutrition help to improve your health!
