As part of a recent interview for eHow, writer Marie Horrigan asked me about easy ways to cook healthy – the article, 5 Tips for Healthy, Hassle-Free Food, is now live on the site and I welcome your comments.
Horrigan asked several nutrition experts about their best (and easiest) lessons for getting in the habit of cooking healthy and eating right.

Even a switch to 1 percent milk cuts the calorie count to 110 and halves the fat content to 2.5 grams, including 1.5 grams of saturated fat.
