Default What's your healthiest food list?

I'll start. What I want to do is list 10 foods that you would include
in a diet if that were all you could ever eat. This is a little
nonsensical, I admit, but it makes you think in terms of a balanced
diet. OH ya, no vitamin pills or other supplements allowed. All your
nutritional needs must come from these 10 foods. Mine would be low fat
and vegetarian of course.

1) Steel cut oats. Oats have good fiber, low, but adequate fat (3grams
per serving) adequate protein, no cholesterol or trans fats, high
fiber, are whole grain and thought to lower BP and help prevent colon
cancer. My gosh they are tasty too.

2) Whole wheat bread- a little fat, lots of whole wheat, fiber,
adequate protein. Give us this day our daily bread was a prayer
afterall. The yeast also gives some B vitamins.

3) skim milk- essentially nonfat, high protein

4) egg whites- high protein, nonfat

5) blueberries- loaded with antioxidants, low cal, some protein, high
fiber.

6) cabbage- loaded with vitamins

7) spinach- ditto

8) lentils- very high fiber and high protein

9) tomatoes- loaded with vitamins

10) brown rice- a staple that similar to potatoes has allowed entire
nations to survive for years when little else was available. dkw
