How should I get the nutrients I need if I give up bad food?

Smart Eating

Rather than giving up foods like hamburgers, french fries and ice cream, be smart about how often and how much you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid and checking out the Nutrition Facts Panel on food labels will help you to get all these nutrients.
