Eat off the salad bar for a quick and nutritious lunch.  Load up on the vegetables and limit the cheese and salad dressings to help reduce fat.  Vegetables are full of fiber which can help reduce the risk of some cancers.

For a quick snack, grab a Dole® Fruit Cup.  This is an excellent alternative to candy bars and ice cream.  Fruit is fat free and provides numerous vitamins plus fiber. 

Grab a FUZE® Slenderize between classes.  Cranberry Raspberry Slenderize contains Chromium for energy, Vitamin C, Citrimax, and L-Carnitine which boosts energy.  It is low in calories and carbohydrates.

Try Quaker Instant Oatmeal® for breakfast.  Oatmeal contains 3 grams of soluble fiber which helps protect against heart disease. 

Try Kashi® Heart to Heart cereal for breakfast with skim milk.  Kashi Heart to Heart contains 9 grams of fiber with 1.7 grams of soluble fiber.  It is a heart healthy choice for breakfast.
