Foods
that pack
a nutritious punch
A
healthy diet is essential to long-term
health. When coupled with routine ex-
ercise, healthy diets can be an eff ective
way for men and women to reduce their risk of
contracting a variety of diseases, not to mention
the positive impact that such a healthy lifestyle
can have on an individual’s quality of life. Th e
following are a handful of easily found foods
that pack a nutritious punch.
Whole wheat and multigrain pasta: Once diffi -
cult to fi nd, these low-calorie alternatives to tra-
ditional pastas are now available in many large
chain grocery stores as well as organic market-
places. Th at’s good news, as a typical two-ounce
serving of whole wheat or multigrain pasta typi-
cally includes about seven grams of protein and
six grams of fi ber.
Nonfat Greek yogurt: Nonfat Greek yo-
gurt is a great low-calorie source of pro-
tein, making it a great snack option
for men and women who want a snack that can
boost their aft ernoon energy levels without com-
promising their waistlines. Single serving con-
tainers of Greek yogurt tend to be right around
six ounces, and that six ounces can include 120
grams of protein or more.
Russet potatoes: If baked potatoes are a side dish
you typically only enjoy in restaurants, you might
want to consider eating more of them at home.
One medium-sized Russet potato is roughly 170
calories and includes three grams of fi ber, fi ve
grams of protein and 25 percent of your daily
recommended dosage of potassium. Russet po-
tatoes also are high in vitamin C and iron.
Fresh spinach: Popeye was on to something, as a
four cup serving of fresh bagged spinach is just
20 calories and loaded with vitamins and nutri-
ents. Just one serving of fresh bagged spinach
can provide 160 percent of the recommended
daily value of vitamin A and 40 percent of the
daily value of vitamin C. Spinach is also a great
source of folic acid, which can help prevent heart
disease, stroke and certain types of cancer.
Dried lentils: Dried lentils make great additions
to salads, soups and stews and pack a nutritious
punch despite their relatively small serving size.
A single serving of dried lentils is 1⁄4 cup, and
that serving includes 10 grams of protein and 11
grams of fi ber.
Brown rice: A single 1/4 cup serving of brown
rice has roughly 20 less calories than a simi-
lar serving of traditional white rice, and
brown rice is also a much greater source of
dietary fi ber (1.8 grams) than white rice (0.4
grams). Brown rice also is rich in selenium,
which can reduce a person’s risk of developing
arthritis, certain cancers and heart disease.
