Eat kiwi for an afternoon snack.

Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast is an important meal for everyone -- some say it's the most important meal, especially for kids. A good breakfast will help get you started off right!

Eat regularly. "Regularly" means breakfast, lunch, dinner, and some planned healthy snacks throughout the day, such as fruits and vegetables.

Use the food pyramid. The food pyramid helps you to think of foods in groups that form a pyramid shape when eaten in the proper amounts. The foods you should eat the most of to maintain good health -- breads, cereal, rice, and pasta -- are at the bottom of the Pyramid. The foods you should eat the least of -- fats, oils, and sweets -- are at the top shows you how to make food choices for a healthy diet. Be creative! At the store, pick out foods from each of the groups. Choose a new fruit or vegetable each week.

Eat foods from the bottom of the pyramid. The grain group forms the base of the Pyramid because the largest number of servings needed each day comes from this food group. Grain products are important for vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber.

Reduce the amount of fat in your diet. Try skim milk instead of whole milk. Use fat-free sour cream in place of regular. Avoid foods with high fat levels.

Try fruit instead of candy. Try for more nutritious snacks than cookies or sweets. If you must have sweets, enjoy them in moderation.

Know what is too much. Watch out for super-sized portions. Sometimes it is not what we eat but the super-sized portions that get us into trouble.

Use common sense. Don't eat sweets before a meal. Try to grab fruit or vegetables before you grab a candy bar or a bag of chips.
