Get smarter about what you eat

You can use the Better Choices tool on Nutrition Data to get smarter about what you eat, and to choose foods that will help you lose weight more easily.

For every food you eat, there are likely to be similar foods that are more nutritious and will fill you up for fewer calories.  A food that is more nutritious and filling than another food is a Better Choice for Weight Loss. 

For example, yesterday you might have had some frozen corn with dinner. 

When you track your diet using the My Tracking tool, the analysis report includes a list of all the foods you've eaten that day.  Next to each food you'll find Better Choices links.

If you click on Better choices for weight loss (and choose the "vegetable" category), you'll find that there are 615 vegetable choices that are both more nutritious and more filling per calorie than corn. Choosing any one of these as a substitute for corn will be a step in the right direction!

For example, you could choose asparagus, green beans, or broccoli.  Each Better Choice you make will improve the nutritional quality of your diet and make it easier to lose weight.
