Favorite Power Foods?
I just received the new pocket guide which is pretty similar to the blue book. I noticed they have a section on Power Foods which is also in the blue book (but I like to reread).
I'm trying to eat mostly power (filling) foods as the mainstay of my diet which is pretty easy to do. What are you favorite power foods (green pyramid)?
Fruit including pears, apples, melon, blueberries, raspberries etc..
I often buy frozen fruit and use them in shakes.
Veggies including romaine lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, red peppers, cucumbers, spaghetti squash, yams (sweet potatoes)
(I was going to write avocado, which I have been slicing into my salads the odd time. There is a lot of good fat in avocado, but there are other nutrients in avocado also, but I just saw it is not a power food).
Brown rice, whole wheat spaghetti, GoLean cereal
Dairy: 1% cottage cheese, vanilla no fat yogurt, eggs, egg substitutes
Meat: chicken skinless boneless, fish (haddock, salmon), tuna (canned in water).
Snacks: popcorn
