Providing healthy delicious meal choices. That is how ECI prepares its menu and its foods. Fresh foods made from scratch. ECI has developed its menu offerings from a variety of freshly made, wholesome choices. Some of our daily practices we employ every day are those that are best kept all the time.

1. Make half your grains whole. Choose whole-grain foods, such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice, and lowfat popcorn, more often.
2. Vary your veggies. Go dark green and orange with your vegetables-eat spinach, broccoli, carrots, and sweet potatoes.
3. Focus on fruits. Eat them at meals, and at snack time, too. Choose fresh, frozen, canned, or dried.
4. Get your calcium-rich foods. To build strong bones, serve low-fat and fat-free milk and other milk products several times a day.
5. Go lean with protein. Eat lean or low-fat meat, chicken, turkey, and fish. Also, change your tune with more dry beans and peas.
6. Change your oil. We all need oil. Get yours from fish, nuts, or liquid oils such as corn, soybean, canola, and olive oil.
