Here's To Your Health

You can still enjoy the food you love, but by eating a little less you can achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Health authorities agree that the overarching challenge Americans face in managing their diets is the caloric-balance equation—that is, the balance between calories consumed and calories expended.

Understanding food portions and calories is a proven way to help manage body weight. That's why the ConAgra Foods product portfolio offers a wide range of foods with right-sized portions and a reasonable number of calories per serving.

Ninety percent (more than 180) of our single-serve meals and entrées across the Healthy Choice®, Banquet®, Marie Callender's®, Kid Cuisine®, and Chef Boyardee® brands have 450 or fewer calories, making portion and calorie control easy during mealtime. We also offer more than 60 different snacks in portion-controlled servings with 150 or fewer calories across our Snack Pack®, Swiss Miss®, Slim Jim®, and Andy Capp's® brands, providing you with convenient, portion-controlled snacks between meals.

Having a varied diet is one of the fundamental principles of eating well. Nutrition research shows that many people come up a little short when it comes to certain foods. In fact, compared to recommended intakes, adults only eat about one-fifth of the amount of whole grains, one-half of the amount of beans, and two-thirds of the amount of vegetables they should. ConAgra Foods prepares more than 400 different food offerings to give you many great-tasting and convenient ways to enjoy a more varied diet.

Although health authorities recommend eating three servings of whole grains each day, only one out of every 10 people actually does. National food intake survey data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that because popcorn is a whole grain, those who eat foods such as Orville Redenbacher's® or Act II® microwave popcorn every day consume 2.5 servings of whole grains—very close to the recommended goal of three servings and three times more than people who don't eat popcorn.
