Fitness Food List: 5 “C” Foods for a Fit, Strong, Lean & Healthy Body
-
1) Canola Oil
Cut down on butter, lard and other saturated fats with healthy vegetable oils that offer beneficial mono-unsaturated & poly-unsaturated fats. This is great for your skin and even better for your heart. (but do keep in mind we still need some small amounts of saturated fats for optimal health and function). Safflower oil is also a good choice in this regard. These are also good oils to cook with as they have a higher tolerance for heat as compared to olive oil (which is an amazing choice for salads, etc…)
Keep in mind – no matter which fat/oil you choose – its still 120 calories per tablespoon.
2) Cantaloupe
The light orange color is a dead give away that this delicious fruit is a good source of beta-carotene. It’s also a great source of vitamin C. I like my cantaloupe a little sweeter – so after I cut the whole melon into cubes – I sprinkle some stevia powder on it – and shake the sealed container for a nice little kick of natural, no-cal sweetness.
3) Carrots
Just half a cup give you 150% of your daily Vitamin A. What else is there to say? go organic when you you can – its worth it.
4) Cauliflower
A nice source of Vitamin C – and most likely a source of anti-cancer compounds. You can take this low carb veggie – cook it, then mash it – then sprinkle with sea salt, some black pepper – and a touch of olive oil or butter – and you’ll think you’re eating gourmet mashed potatoes – without all the heavy carbs. Yeah Baby!!
5) Chicken Breast
Start with free-range, cage free, organic – boneless, skinless breasts (if you can)…
Then dice it up…
Place in bowl…
Add 1 table spoon of canola oil (or olive oil)
Some sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika.
Mix it up with a fork – and then pan sear it in a heated pan until cooked.
I hope you enjoyed this list of Fitness Foods. Print it out and add it to your shopping list.
And stay tuned for more of these coming your way.
