Staying healthy and eating right is not rocket science. This article contains easy to follow advice to assist you in making better choices about what you eat. There are many easy options for you to choose from when your goal is good nutrition.

A great nutrition tip is to make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. The USDA recommended daily allowance for fruits and veggies is 9 to 13 servings per day. That probably sounds like more than it actually is. Have a glass of real orange juice with your breakfast or put tomato pasta sauce on your spaghetti.

One way to stay fit and healthy is to pack lunches instead of buying them. Packing meals for yourself means that you will not have to eat at a restaurant or eat fast food. Ten minutes or less is all it takes to make a few meals.

Eat various kinds of protein during your week. Select fish, skinless poultry, and lean meats. Use eggs as a protein source. We now know that having an egg every day will not harm you.
