A nutritionist shares pictures of everything she eats in a day

If you're trying to eat right, then following the diet of a nutritionist is probably a good start.

Ruth Frechman, a registered dietitian nutritionist, starts her morning with cinnamon-sprinkled oatmeal and keeps low-calorie snacks like popcorn on hand throughout the day.

"My favorite foods are fruit and nuts," says Frechman, who is the author of The Food Is My Friend Diet."

Frechman combines her diet with 30 minutes to 2 hours of exercise a day. She mixes it up between yoga, walking or jogging, swimming, hiking, and Zumba.

"If I gain some weight, it's usually because I eat too many nuts or eat out too much," she says.
