Navigating the supermarket for low-fat foods can be overwhelming, but with a few tips, you can make healthier choices. Start by making a shopping list that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.

Be sure to read food labels to check for fat content and choose products labeled as “low-fat” or “fat-free.”

Some examples of low-fat foods to look for at the supermarket include skinless poultry, fish, beans, lentils, non-fat or low-fat dairy products, whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
