Canned Beans
Nutritionists recommend canned beans as a processed food for good reason. Canned beans can help you make a healthy meal in minutes when you're short on time.
Fortified Whole-Grain Cereal
Fortified morning cereal is a nutritious powerhouse despite being one of the most demonised items in supermarket centre aisles. Klinger says a bowl delivers iron and folate, plus milk and fruit make a full meal.
Frozen Fruit
Seen a pattern with dietitians' favourite f-word fiber? You're on to something! For weight reduction, frozen fruit is another great source of fibre.
Greek Yogurt
All of our weight reduction specialists recommend yoghurt. A previous analysis showed that eating yoghurt as part of a balanced diet may help you lose weight.
High-Fiber Crackers
Yes, fibre again! For weight reduction, high-fiber crackers may be eaten with lean meats, healthy fats, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Aim for 4 grammes of fibre per serving.
Hummus
Hummus contains protein and fibre for weight reduction. Hummus is a delicious and nutritious plant-based snack that is portable and convenient, explains Klinger.
Soymilk
Klinger claims soymilk is the only milk replacement authorised by the USDA in the Dietary Guidelines due to its substantial protein and nutrients.6 Unsweetened soymilk has 80 calories, 7 grammes of protein.
Tofu
Tofu, like soymilk, is a nutritious soybean-based processed food. Wallace loves tofu, and so do I: a 3-ounce portion has 70 calories, 9 grammes of protein, and 1 gramme of fibre.
