Cottage Cheese
Whole eggs, Egg whites, Omega Eggs
Skinless Chicken and Turkey Breasts
Lean Ground Beef
Oat Meal
White Rice
Brown Rice
Legumes
Fruit
Vegetables
Avocados
Berries
Nuts

and many many more. Google is your friend, and so is this forum board :]

Since you are here go ahead and post your complete diet including macros and times you eat. From there we can get a diet good for you

Agreed

You can post it in this thread or start a new one. Just post up what you eat on a daily basis with the macros (like the example I gave you).

There are many healthy diet foods, but, you may not need all of them (or want them) in your diet. Your diet needs to basically be custom made for you and your goals.

Oh, and as stated in the other thread about the diet pills, just stay away from those. Most are junk and just caffiene filled.

Interchangeable lean protein sources:

The goal is to eat lean protein. Meats/other sources low in fat/carbs.

Ground beef (93% lean or better)
Lean steak (Flank, flat iron, or top sirloin)
Bison sirloin (the highest quality red meat)
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna (canned or sushi grade)
Salmon
Tilapia (mostly all white fish)
All shellfish
Venison
Whey protein (post-workout recovery purposes only)
Casein/Cottage cheese (before bed only)

Black-list protein:

Bacon
Sausage
Expensive fat-marbled Steaks (Ribeye, Strip, Filet)
Pork and beef ribs
Pork/Lamb chops
Restaurant ground beef (80/20 fat – most burgers)
Duck
Chicken legs/thighs
Chicken skin
Cheese

Interchangeable complex carbohydrates:

Complex carbs are now your creed. These are slower-digesting, natural, low on the glycemic index carbohydrates that digest slowly and provide us with sustained energy. They do not drastically affect our blood sugar and do not cause insulin spikes. Thus our body sees no reason to store them as fat, it would rather burn them for energy. Simple carbs such as enriched white breads/pastas/rice/potatoes/sugars (including most fruit) cause insulin spikes and are high GI foods. They should not be eaten when on a strict diet. Fruit can be consumed early in the day or pre/post-workout because of it’s high nutritional value but should usually be avoided due to being a form of simple sugar. Remember, healthy, low-calorie foods aren’t always the correct foods and such is the case with fruit.

Oats/Oatmeal
Grits/Cornmeal
Unsalted/non-buttered popcorn (great, low-cal snack)
Sweet potato (the best choice)
Butternut squash
Whole wheat pasta (not enriched)
Organic whole wheat bread (not enriched wonder bread crap)
Brown rice
Ezekiel bread
Swedish grain bread
Gluten free bread
Wheat couscous
Corn
Quinoa
Lentils
Beans
Many more, look up the GI (glycemic index) for healthy choices

Black-list carbohydrates:

White pasta
White bread
Baguette
Bagels
Cookies, cake, muffins, cupcakes, all sweets basically.
White couscous
White rice
You get the idea…

Interchangeable fat sources:

We look for fat sources that are high in omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Also, many are high in protein. We do not want saturated fats such as butter, cream, meat fat. We don’t want test tube fats like trans (the worst). We want mono/polyunsaturated fats that our body can use for something other than calories. Remember, even good fats are high in calories.

Natural peanut butter (no sugar added, just roasted peanuts)
Natural almond butter

Cashews
Almonds
Peanuts
Avocados/Guacamole
Flax seeds/oil
Salmon and Trout (great fatty proteins)
Fish oil
Extra virgin olive oil (should be used on all veggies/salads)
Chia seeds
Grapeseed oil
Macadamia nut oil
Udo's oil
Walnut oil
Sunflower seeds/oil

Acceptable miscellaneous foods:

These foods don’t provide much as far as macronutrients but are great for adding vitamins/minerals and taste. Notice some of these other foods are dairy. Dairy is another animal’s milk. We lack the enzymes to digest it as they do and it’s high in fat/sugar. It should only be eaten early in the day for nutrient purposes with the exception of whey and casein (cottage cheese).

Skim milk (Hood brand is only 45 calories and 3g of sugar per cup)
Greek yogurt (no sugar added)
Berries (all berries are much lower in sugar than other fruits and packed with fiber/nutrients – eat berries)
Green Vegetables. These are technically carbs but they are packed with fiber (a type of carb that isn’t used as energy or stored). In bodybuilding/nutrition – we refer to most vegetables as fibrous carbohydrates. While a serving of Broccoli may have 6g of carbs, 5 are from fiber. Meaning that it contains only 1g of storable carbohydrates. In addition, green vegetables are a calorie neutral/negative food (our body uses more calories to digest them than they contain – think celery). Veggies should be eaten with every meal. Every day. If you do this, you can become almost impervious to getting sick. Some vegetables are better than others for healthy diets.
Many non-green vegetables. Most are fine – just check labels, some have a good bit of sugar and should be eaten in moderation only (carrots)

Carbs from whole food is not a problem..

Take them allaway and what will you eat?

You will have no intensity in the gym.. And you will suffer missing out on valuable food.

That meal you posted has alot wrong with it in terms of micronutrient content.

Vegies or salad with every meal

Fruit with breakfast


A few easy tips.

Eat whole food
Eat natural food
Eat no food that makes you sick
Lift heavy
Avoid caffeine
Sleep well...


That is really the basis of a good foundation.

[SEAviator]

[Damienm05]

It is good. No need to justify. I think that dude just feels the need to assert dominance over anyyone who has something to say concerning diet.

[SERPENTORX]

Do you have any suggestions as to good brands of food to stick with? Can I drink other things besides water?
