Cutting the fat in food choices calls for creativity - especially when it comes to children's diets. Here's some ideas for tasty, lower fat options that kids love:
- Baked sweet potato wedges brushed lightly with olive oil
- Tuna salad with grape slices - use plain low fat yogurt instead of mayo
- Whole-wheat pizza with lots of veggies and sauce and just a sprinkle of low fat chees
- Baked potato with lean meat chili or salsa rather than butter and sour cream
