Following some simple things while shopping gives you more options, and a healthier meal.
1. Always read labels to compare products. For example, compare total calories on same salad dressings of different brands -- and then go for the one that has the least number of calories.
2. Keep a well-stocked kitchen at all times, so that you don't eat high-calorie food for lack of better options.
3. Stock-up on some basic products like low-fat cheese, skim milk, yogurt, and eggs.
4. Fresh fruits are always a better option. But you can also go for fresh, frozen fruits in light syrup.
5. While buying vegetables, go for ones that are plain frozen rather than mixed with butter sauce.
6. Go for low-fat cereals, pita bread, and diet margarine.
7. While buying fish, avoid ones that are already battered.
8. Finally, avoid food that is highly processed.
