An important part of a heart healthy eating plan is paying attention to the amount of fat you eat. Eating less fat starts with the foods you choose to eat.

Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are very satisfying and provide important healthy benefits. When you eat more of these foods, you may find that you eat fewer high-fat foods.

For example:

Have a bowl of whole grain cereal for breakfast.
Round out your lunch with a sweet crunchy apple or juicy tangerine.
Add fat-free and low-fat dairy products, fish, legumes, poultry and lean meats to your meal plan. Some ideas for low-fat choices are:
Use skim or 1 percent low-fat milk on your breakfast cereal.
Look for light or nonfat ice cream or ice milk.
Enjoy a grilled salmon or tuna steak.
