  • Eggs –They contain high-quality protein. While some may be concerned about dietary cholesterol in eggs, it has been shown that it has only a minor impact on low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad cholesterol) in the blog.
  • Oatmeal–Known to lower cholesterol, oatmeal also contains beta glucan, a thick fiber that helps you feel full longer.
  • Berries–Every kind of berry is low in calories, high in fiber and contains antioxidants credited for fighting disease. You can eat them on their own or add them to cereal, oatmeal, yogurt or toss them into a blender for a smoothie.
  • Greek yogurt–A terrific source of protein and calcium, it also contains probiotics that support gut health and immune system. Greek yogurt contains more protein than regular strained yogurt. It can be eaten with berries or nut butters and added to smoothies.

Wow! Like berries, you can add flaxseed to yogurt, oatmeal or a smoothie. Make sure you use ground flaxseed so the body can absorb them; whole flaxseeds pass through the body without breaking down.
  • Cottage Cheese–Another protein powerhouse, it helps curb hunger. It’s rich in B vitamins, vitamin A and calcium. More versatile than you think, you can eat it on its own or mix in sweet or savory foods.
