Sometimes you can make a simple decision that will make a real difference in how healthy your food is. For instance, in the next recipe, choose tuna packed in water instead of oil, to reduce fat and calories. For additional fiber, something most of us need more of, choose a whole grain English muffin rather than white. This tasty sandwich provides plenty of protein from the tuna, and important calcium from the cheese. To balance out your meal, have some vegetable sticks with your sandwich and some fresh fruit for dessert.
