How We Picked the Winners
We asked more than 100 companies to submit their healthiest products -- foods and beverages that are high in protein and fiber and low in fat, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. Once the packaged goods arrived at our offices, three top nutritionists -- Anar Allidina, RD, a nutritionist in private practice in New York City; Keri Gans, RD, New York spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association; and Marissa Lippert, RD, author of The Cheater's Diet -- spent hours analyzing the nutrition facts and ingredients label on each to help us determine which deserved a place in our taste tests. Those finalists were then sampled and voted on by dozens of staffers throughout our company.

You don't even need to buy an air popper - buy a bag of paper lunch sacks and you can "air pop" your popcorn the same way the mini bags do in the microwave without all the fake butter in the bag. :)

Nobody ever has time to where they can eat fresh foods all of the time. They aren't always available in all areas either. It helps to know what is the best packaged foods for your health.

All you need at the grocery store is a trip through the meat/seafood department, the dairy case and an extended stay in the produce department. Sticking to the outskirts of a store always always means you will spend less. Keep a well stocked pantry (flour, salt, sugar, yeast, etc.) and make your own breads, pastas and more. NO fake foods or fake flavors!
