First, look at all the choices.
Get a plate and take small amounts of food.
Cut food in half and share.
Eat many different foods, like fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein.
Drink water or unsweetened tea.
Take a small bite of food and chew food completely (5 to 10 times).
Pause when your food is gone. Our bodies need time to feel full!
Eating at a buffet is fun, and I can make healthy choices!
