Choosing Fruits and Vegetables for a Healthy Diet

Fruits and vegetables are a great addition to any healthy diet. Use these calorie counts to help you make smarter decisions about what you eat during the day. For example, you can eat an entire spaghetti squash for not many more calories than a medium plain potato - one that doesn't contain any butter, oil or sour cream. Add more low-calorie fruits and vegetables to your diet to help you feel fuller and more satisfied, while staying under your calorie limit for the day.

To get the most from your fruits and vegetables, follow these tips:

  • Choose a variety of different fruits and vegetables to add to your snacks and meals throughout the day, eating a rainbow of colors for the most nutrients.
  • Choose the freshest produce available, avoiding anything unripe or overripe.
  • Prepare it well by eating it washed and raw, steamed, boiled or baked. Avoid frying to eliminate the extra calories it brings.
