- Eat 3 meals a day - Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
- Eat a snack before bed if your doctor or dietitian suggests a snack.
- Eat about the same amount of food at each meal.
- Space your meals evenly throughout the day (about 4 hours between meals).

- Dessert (cake, candy, brownies, cookies, pie, doughnuts)
- Syrup, jams, jellies, molasses, corn syrup
