Foods to buy, brands to look for.
Here are a list of some of the healthiest whole foods and brands I recommend. Most of these foods can be purchased at your local Wholefoods Market or health food grocery store. This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Remember to combine most lean proteins with low GI carbohydrates and healthy fats. A ratio of 40, 30, 30 respectively is a healthy balance. If you happen to be eating only protein for one meal you can afford to have some extra ‘good fat’ like a tablespoon or two of fresh avocado with your egg whites or a tablespoon of organic almond/peanut butter with your homemade protein shake. If you can’t find the particular brand I’m recommending opt for its equivalent.
