Dietitians of Canada is asking Canadians to put their "Best Food Forward" and "Plan Shop Cook Enjoy!" in celebration of Nutrition Month 2013.
Nutrition Month is dedicated to serving up practical advice from registered dietitians, the food and nutrition experts, to makeover your grocery cart.
Each day in March, Dietitians of Canada dishes up a new grocery-shopping tip designed to help you makeover your grocery cart. You can access the tips from eaTipster, a new, free iPhone and iPad app, or view tips at www.dietitians.ca.
Some of the healthy shopping tips include:
Quality counts: Choose foods based on overall nutrient profile, not just one healthy ingredient.
Get frozen: For healthy meals in a flash, pack your freezer with nutrient-rich frozen food.
Skip processed meals: Cooking simple meals is an easy way to save money on your grocery bill.
