2. Orange juice is good, but eating an orange is better.

3. Reach for turkey bacon or sausage instead of the regular kind.

4. Hold the butter when you order pancakes or waffles.

6. Eat the smallest muffin in the bakery (or, better yet, reach for an English muffin).

7. Thicken cream sauce with low-fat or evaporated milk instead of cream or butter.

8. Eat poached eggs instead of ones that are fried.
