and tricks for you that are easy to implement!

How much do you think you already know? Take these quizzes and find out:

Healthy Choices

Eating at the caf…

When going for salads avoid creamy salad dressings!

Choose bread and wraps made from whole grains. Avoid white bread!

Ask for smaller portion sizes. Less on your plate the less likely you will overeat

Go for dark greens and salads. The darker the more nutritious they are!

Try and stick to drinking water

Cooking in your suites…

Choose lean meats when you are out shopping!

Don’t go shopping when you are hungry. You are more likely to make impulsive and unhealthy choices

Avoid the frozen food section (fresh also

tastes best!)

Grill, bake or steam your food versus fry-

ing. Avoid the use of oil and butter

Enjoy Thanksgiving from your Ongoing Train-

ing and Development Team!
