Protein and Produce. These are key. Just about any variety of fruits and veggies. Prepare them any which way you like with the exception of frying or loading them with lots of fat! Fresh is optimal because it is in it's more natural state. Never be afraid to experiment with new foods or even new ways of preparing the foods. Over half of your diet should be fresh veggies or fruits. They contain a wide array of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidant, fiber, and even protein (yes protein!). You'd be surprized to know that many vegetables contain 1 to 3 grams of protein per serving!
Plus, they are carbs. No they are not grains or bread, but they provide a source of carbohydrates. Our bodies do need carb but we can get them from produce over bread, grains, sweets, and processed products!
