The magazines are full of stories about how to whittle your waist, seeing as how beach season is just a month away.

Or perhaps you just want to eat more healthily.

Fitness magazine this week released its second annual Healthy Food Awards for processed foods, based on criteria set by a panel of six nutritionists, members of the magazine's advisory board. The criteria included ideal calories, fat grams, sodium and fiber content. Foods were then taste-tested by Fitness staff members. Winning foods in categories ranging from breakfast foods to snacks will bear an award seal.

Here's a sampling of the 57 winners, along with tasters' comments. All products are available nationally:

• Fiber One Honey Clusters -- "Sweet and crunchy, this cereal has more than half your daily intake of fiber in one cup." Per cup: 160 calories, 13 grams fiber.
