Here is a sample one-day menu for Mr. Brown. His doctor just told him to cut down on added sugars in addition to increasing his fiber intake.

He hopes to meet with a dietitian next week, but in the meantime needs some help making these changes. List five suggestions for Mr. Brown's diet.

Make sure to provide only changes that address the meal planning goals mentioned above. Tell him which foods you would have him omit and how you would replace these foods. Highlight (yellow) or bold the item you are changing. Then write the change next to that.

Explain how each change specifically reduces added sugar and/or increases his fiber intake.
