9 Foods Fit People Love
September 24, 2014
Do you ever wonder which foods really fit people eat? While nutrition varies from person-to-person, I’ve found these 9 foods to be consistent finds in their meal plans.
Almonds:Good fats, lots of fiber, and plenty of antioxidants. Also a great snack if you want to lower your cholesterol.
Eggs:Rich in protein and vitamin B12. Not to mention the things you can do with eggs are never ending. An over-easy egg is yummy on just about any hearty dish.
Fish:Again, a wonderful protein dish. Low in fat and contains important minerals like zinc, selenium, and iron. Not to mention fish contains omega-3 “AKA” magic for your nails, skin, and hair.
Cottage cheese: Low in calories and carbohydrates, high in protein. One serving of cottage cheese contains about 9% of your recommended calcium intake.
Oatmeal:A perfect breakfast dish. 7g of protein per cup and loaded with fiber.
Hummus: I love a good snack that actually fills me up. Add some hummus to your mid-day vegetable snack and it will hold you off until dinner. It’s also full of fiber and good fats.
Avocados: REALLY GOOD FAT. People are afraid of avocados because they hear “loaded with good fat” and get scared. Avocados are packed with potassium, fiber, vitamins C, B6, & K. Don’t be afraid.
Air-popped popcorn: Super yummy snack for those individuals who enjoy something on the salty side. Skip the pre-buttered microwave popcorn and go for something that skips the unhealthy oils. Sprinkle a little salt and wallah!
Dark chocolate: Full of antioxidants, minerals, & vitamins. Lowers blood pressure, reduces risk of stroke and type-2 diabetes. Yes, chocolate really does this. However, BE WARNED. You need at least 70% cocoa in order to receive the benefits.
Try adding these to your next grocery list. I hope this helps!
