This is not a complete list of everything you can eat, because the world is full of amazing and whole foods.  This will just give you an idea of all the wonderful things that are healthful to our bodies.  In a few of the photos above I show Luna Protein Bars , which are a great mid-afternoon snack to nosh on with a big glass of ice water.  How about the Greek yogurt.  I’d never had Greek yogurt before, just be sure to read the label and make sure you buy non-fat.  The picture above has a whopping 12 grams of protein, plus all that calcium makes it a perfect breakfast item when you mix in a few berries.

Also, I like using Newman’s Own Low-fat salad dressing.  It makes eating salads just a little easier, and tastier!

• PROTEINS
  Protein is primarily found in meat, poultry, fish and eggs, but is also found in dairy and to some degree in vegetable and grain sources.  Tofu, chia seed (Salba), quinoa and hemp seed are complete protein.  Other plant sources must be eaten in combination in order to be complete.  The leanest meat is skinless turkey breast, for red meat the filet mignon is the leanest or choose bison meat.   Don’t forget about water-packed tuna for quick lunches. Egg whites are lean with a lot of protein and most white fish.  For pork, choose the pork tenderloin.  When purchasing dairy, purchase low-fat.  OH, and don’t forget about shrimp, scallops, mussels, and salmon, too.

SERVING PER DAY:  You should be eating five or six servings of protein a day, depending upon whether you h ave an evening meal.

SERVING PER DAY:  Gram for gram, about 15 percent of your diet should come from healthy fats from fish, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils.  If you are a calorie counter, this works out to about 25 percent of your daily calories.  Aim to include a few servings of these foods in your diet to ensure you are getting enough healthy oils.
