Nutrition 101 (A-Z) "E" Essentials of Healthy Eating

"E" is for Essentials of Healthy Eating.  Ok gang it is not rocket science but it does take some investment of time on your part to learn how to eat well, which I can help you with. But for now I can sum up your grocery list in 4 groups:

1. Lean proteins: seafood, meats & poultry, meat alternatives
2. Healthy fats & oils
3. Green Vegetables/Salad, Fruits & Whole Grains
4. Healthy Snacks & Condiments

While this list may seem simple I realize a lot of you are still lost as to what qualifies as the essentials within each group. And within each group there is still a breakdown of best to good choices. So let's take a brief but closer look:

Lean Proteins: cod, wild halibut, mahi, mahi, tilapia, buffalo, elk, deer, chicken/turkey skinless breast, pork tenderloin, ground turkey, egg whites, whole eggs, tofu, boca burgers
Healthy Fats & Oils:  flaxseed, walnut, canola or extra virgin olive oil, unsalted/raw nuts & seeds
Green Vegetables/Salad, Fruits & Whole Grains:  asparagus, kale, spinach, sprouts, romain lettuce, cucumbers, broccoli, zucchini, berries, apples, peaches, grapefruit, oranges, whole wheat breads, whole grain breads, beans & legumes, old-fashion oatmeal
Healthy Snacks & Condiments: celery & natural peanut butter, low-fat or nonfat cottage cheese & fruit, real fruit popsicles, air-popcorn, yellow mustard, salsa, lemon/lime juice, cider vinegar, tobasco, dried herbs & spices
