NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS


HERE is an article with a list of foods that have a ton of vitamins and minerals packed into very few calories.

It also touts the effectiveness of eating a diet rich in nutrient dense foods, like fruits and vegetables, since so many of these foods fill you up (thanks to their fiber and other attributes) without making a huge dent in your daily calories.

An example of easy swaps:
*Low fat milk (or soy milk) is BETTER than diet soda. A few more calories than diet soda, but WAY more nutrients, helping you to stay full longer.
*Bulgar is BETTER than brown rice. It has more fiber and vitamins/minerals and it has less calories than brown rice!
