Meats

It is a myth that all meat is harmful. Unprocessed, gently cooked meat is one of the healthiest and most nutritious foods you can eat.

Lean Beef

Lean beef is among the best sources of protein in existence, and loaded with highly bioavailable iron. Choosing the fatty cuts is fine if you’re on a low carb diet.

Chicken Breasts

Chicken breast is low in fat and calories, but extremely high in protein. It is a great source of many nutrients. Again, feel free to eat fattier cuts of chicken if you’re not eating that many carbs.

Lamb

Lambs are usually grass-fed, and their meat tends to be high in Omega-3 fatty acids.

Antoine Griezmann


No one would have been surprised if the 25-year-old had been too jaded to shoulder his country's attacking burden at Euro 2016. After all, he went into the tournament on the back of a hyper-productive club campaign, scoring 32 goals in 57 matches as Atlético Madrid took the La Liga title race to the line and reached the final of the Champions League. Griezmann was instrumental in both those odysseys, providing much of the art and sharpness to Diego Simeone's dynamic machine. He scored goals in the Champions League quarter-final win against Barcelona and the semi-final elimination of Bayern Munich but missed a penalty in extra time of the final against Real Madrid before netting in the losing shootout. After all that he made a slow start to Euro 2016, deployed wide on the right in France's first match and dropped for the second. But in the third he took charge of his country's attack and ended the tournament with the golden boot and a host of new admirers.

Turkey Cabbage Rolls



Turkey Cabbage Rolls

Shrimp

Shrimp

While shrimp may be small, they certainly are anything but shrimpy in their appeal. In fact, these deliciously clean and crisp tasting crustaceans are the most popular seafood in the United States, not counting canned tuna fish. The firm, translucent flesh of raw shrimp comes in a wide range of colors depending upon the variety. It can be pink, gray, brownish or yellow. Once cooked, the flesh of these crustaceans becomes opaque and cream or pinkish in color. 


  • Shrimp is an excellent source of selenium, this neutralizes the injurious effects if free radicals which is the main cause of cancer and other degenerative diseases.
  • Shrimp has low-fat and low-calorie protein, a four ounce serving of shrimp supplies 23.7 grams of protein for a mere 112 calories and less than a gram of fat.
  • Shrimp is a very good source of vitamin D. This vitamin regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which is essential for strong teeth and bones.
  • Shrimp has anti-inflammatory qualities that can help reduce gum swelling.
  • Shrimp is a good source of vitamin B12. This vitamin is important for the proper brain function and essential for the formation and maturation of blood cells.
