UAB Nutritionist Dr. Beth Kitchin joined us with a look at a new program - the UAB Nutrition Guidance System at the Piggly Wiggly. The program is in 14 local Piggly Wiggly's and is designed to give shoppers a quick and easy way to shop for and buy health foods. "Eat More Often" foods are marked with fork icon. Many of the stores also have a display in front with healthy foods and recipes using those foods. There are also labels showing people the major food groups and how much they should get each day of those foods in those sections of the store. You can also visit http://eatrightbyuab.com/eatright to find meal plans and recipes. The foods that get the fork are low in: calories, sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars and high in fiber.
