How to Make Additional Foods to Round Out Your Diet
- Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.
Lean Beef
Lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B12.
Game Meat
Venison, boar, quail, rabbit - if you have a source of natural wild meat, it offers great health benefits as well as culinary delights. - Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods -- like milk, cheese, and yogurt -- excellent sources of protein but they also contain valuable calcium, and many are fortified with vitamin D. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong and prevent osteoporosis. Look for organic and natural cheese, milk, and cream to avoid some of the pollutants found in commercial dairy products. - Soy Foods
The real health benefits of soy might lie in its nutritional content and the fact that people often use soy foods as a replacement for less-healthy foods. Soy foods are a great source of protein and contain other important nutrients, such as fiber, B vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. Foods containing soy protein are also a healthy alternative to meats and other animal products that contain cholesterol and saturated fat.
