Thread: What healthy foods should i eat?

I am not going on a diet. I just wanna eat healthier and excersise. Any good foods?

This is the guide that I usually use for eating:

Breakfast (suggested 6:30 a.m.)

4 to 5 servings of fruit (eat 2 or 3 different types every day)
1-2 servings of whole-grain cereal (oatmeal, multi-grain, or homemade granola) with 2 tablespoons freshly ground flax seed and one or two tablespoons ground toasted (no salt) pumpkin seeds (2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds can be eaten whole if preferred)
Whole grain bread or toast, if desired.
(2-4 times per week) 1 serving (1/4 cup) English walnuts or almonds or 1-2 servings whole-grain bread with natural peanut butter or other nut butter

Lunch (suggested 12:30 p.m.)

Large salad
Raw or cooked vegetables (eat different types every day)
Starches (boiled or baked white potatoes or sweet potatoes, whole-grain brown rice, or whole-grain pasta)
Protein food [legumes (beans or lentils), sandwich made with a nut butter or hummus, or soy product such as meat alternatives or tofu]

Dinner (suggested 5:30 or 6 p.m.)

1 or 2 servings fruit
May also have, only if needed, 1-2 slices whole wheat bread or toast without margarine. Toast may have blended fruit spread if desired, which counts as a fruit serving.

I'm vegan, so its different if you are going to include meats in your diet. I still suggest following this at least a couple times a week to detox your system. The link below is were i got the diet from, you should read the page even if your not vegan, its got a few useful tips. Good luck on eating healthier, there is a LOT of junk out there that looks healthy but really isnt. just remember, the more natural, the better.

gosh this is a broad question! soo many good foods: broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, spaghetti squash = super good, persimmons are delicious, oranges, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, almonds, almond butter, fish, 100% whole wheat bread, whole wheat pita bread with hummus + sliced cucumbers & tomatoes mmm, shredded wheat cereal, kashi cereal, oatmeal, cream of wheat, vanilla yogurt w/ granola, cheese (but not too much!), soymilk, fat free milk.

You could eat lots of salads with very light or no dressing at all. Snack foods like broccoli and cauliflower, apples and peanut butter, crackers with cheese, and of course, lots of fruit. Cut down on your meat - you only need around 2 to 4 oz everyday - which you can get protein from eggs and chicken and fish are really healthy as long as they aren't fried.

Spinach w/ tomato. Salads only add a pinch of salt and vinegar. Or if not eat grapes, tomatoes, apples, oranges, and mandarins. Try to do push ups for 3 days every day. Drink lots of water and you will be healthy and strong. BTW drink lots of milk.

Stay away from bannnas you would be better off eating a browine(my diet doctor tole me this)
Anyway for good healthy foods i would suggest
Apples
corn
carrots
and almost any veggie or fruit

And to exersize take a jog and/or take dancing classes
or
get into sprots such as soccor,volleyball,soft ball,etc
