My daily favorites, my healthy choices, the good food I live on and love are just as nice and way better on the belly. 

Here are five and why, from the folks at PN.

1. Lean red meat, like sirloin steak. 

I had this on a yummy salad tonight with lots of veggies, a little bleu cheese and some vinagarette. Lean meat can be purchased at the meat section at most stores. They may be a bit more expensive but with time and tenderness can make a great meal. In Portland we are blessed with great local butchers and farmers markets. I suggest you search there first.

2. Boneless chicken breast.

Again, you can find the leanest cuts at any store. Buy free-rage whenever possible, but do what you can be sure to include lots of protein in your daily menus.

3.Feta Cheese. 

Once made from sheep or goat milk, it's not mostly from cow's milk. Feta is perfect crumbled on salads or mixed in sauteed greens. A lot goes a long way so you get a better cheesy bang for your buck, and calorie. 

4. Apples.

I love them anyway, chopped, cooked, pied, whatever! Try a few varieties and colors. The more color in your diet the better. Cut apples for salads or daily snacks, eat with cheese, or cook up to cover pork chops or stir in oatmeal. Fiber rich and so yummy.

5. Spinach. 

Instead of using lettuce for salads, switch to spinach as often as you can - its so good for you! Steam it, bake it, toss it in soup, do whatever you need to do to get more in your life. Eat your greens!

A few more next time. I'd love to hear yours!!!

Eat well, play hard and rest up!
