  2. What is stealth health? • Stealth health is a purposeful set of practices that improve the health of customers without the customer having to think about it. • There are many ways to practice stealth health: • -change ingredients • -change offerings • -control portions • -changes written in bold blue decrease calories

  3. Changing ingredients • Cooking and frying in oils low in saturated fat • Decreasing sugar content • Seasoning with more spices and less salt • Switching bread products to whole wheat, whole grain, or higher fiber options

  4. Changing ingredients • Add vegetables to entrees • -lower calories for the same portion size • Switch to whole wheat pasta-whole wheat has 5-6 fiber g per serving, versus 2 g for white1 • Cook with low fat or fat free dairy products • Example: Change the American cheese on cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, etc. to reduced fat. -30% fewer calories

  5. Changing offerings • Offer sugar free options-might make a product sweetened with a low calorie or no calorie sweetener • Offer smaller portions of regular food items, such as a smaller hamburger (1/4 pound instead of 1/3 pound) • Increase amount of fruits and vegetables offered as sides example: try offering a veggie pack as another side option • Substitute chips-white cheddar popcorn

  6. Controlling portions • We provide nutrition information to students using the Nutrition Calculator on the H&F website. • This is only accurate if we follow the recipe and portion sizes! • How can we keep track of portions?-weight-scoop type Measuring is important, as “filling” a container will create variance

  7. Controlling portions • Numbered scoops can be helpful • -The number on the scoop equals the number of scoops it would take to make a quart.2 • -A number 4 scoop would hold 1 cup, since it takes 4 cups to make a quart.2 • -it is important to level off the scoop, otherwise you will get to much food.2

  8. Why do this? • Why increase fiber? • Why change to unsaturated fats? • Why lower fat? • Why decrease sugar? • Why decrease salt? • Why decrease portion sizes?
