MOST NUTRIENT FOODS

Our diet should consist of the most nutrient foods (nutrient-dense) as possible for our optimal health, nutrition and energy.  Below is a list of my favorite most nutrient foods.  The first thing to remember is to;

 JUST THINK CLEAN!

MY FAVORITE GOOD CARBOHYDRATES:

SIMPLE CARBS (quick energy source)

• APPLES-FUJI
• BANANAS
• BLUEBERRIES
• CANTALOUPE
• ORANGES
• PEACHES
• PEARS
• RAISINS
• STRAWBERRIES

COMPLEX CARBS (gradually released energy source)

• ASPARAGUS
• BEANS (BLACK,RED…)
• BROCCOLI
• BRUSSEL SPROUTS
• CARROTS
• CAULIFLOWER
• CORN
• EGGPLANT
• MUSHROOMS
• PEAS
• PEPPERS (RED,GREEN,YELLOW…)
• RED POTATOES

(these digest slowly)

• OATMEAL

MY FAVORITE GOOD PROTEIN:

• FRESH FISH
• FRESH POULTRY (no skin)
• FRESH LEAN MEAT (90% lean)
• WHOLE EGGS / EGG WHITES
• FAT FREE GREEK YOGURT

MY FAVORITE GOOD FAT:

Provides essential fatty acids, keeps our skin soft, delivers fat-soluble vitamins, and are a great source of energizing fuel.  Just remember good or bad, FAT is calorie-dense!  There are 9 calories per gram of fat opposed to 4 calories per gram of carbohydrates and proteins and that adds up quick.  So know your HEALTHY fats and how much you are consuming.  

• ALMONDS
• AVOCADOS
• COCONUT OIL
• FLAX SEED GROUND
• OLIVE OIL
• PEANUTS
• SESAME SEEDS
• SUNFLOWER SEEDS
• CANT FORGET CASHEWS

 TRY SOMETHING NEW:

• SUGAR FREE ALMOND MILK
• BEANS
• PLAIN SWEET POTATOES

USE IN MODERATION:

• GRAIN PRODUCTS
• NUTS
• DAIRY
• ADDED FAT
• ANIMAL FAT
• DRIED FRUIT

GET CREATIVE:

•  MAKE YOUR OWN SALAD DRESSINGS
• TRY DIFFERENT SPICES
• BBQ ALL YEAR ROUND (It’s not just for summer)

PACK YOUR LUNCH!!

ALWAYS PLAN AHEAD!!!
