1 Potatoes.

Most peoples love to fry their potatoes or otherwise eat them with large amounts of things like butter, cheese and sour cream.

While still not the most nutritious veggie in terms of vitamins and minerals, a simple plain baked potato is under 200 calories and is fantastic for helping big eaters feel fuller with smaller meals.

2 Popcorn!

A lot of people think it can’t be good unless it’s drenched in butter, but there are so many healthy popcorn toppings to add to home-popped popcorn.

There are many people who say fresh produce is the way to go, but many times they are picked before they are ripe to be shipped to the grocery store.

3. frozen vegetables.

Frozen vegetables, on the other hand, are picked at peak ripeness so they tend to have higher concentrations of antioxidants and other micronutrients (other than those that are destroyed by heat when thawed) that would be found in less amounts in fresh produce.

So if you can’t get your produce locally, frozen vegetables are a great option and they last a long time!

4 Eggs.

they are high in nutrients and protein.

Many people are convinced they are bad for you because they contain quite a bit of cholesterol, but they raise HDL, the good type of cholesterol.

5 Burgers.

McDonalds may be unhealthy, but if you make them at home, there’s a lot of healthy ingredients in it.

6 Chocolate.

Not milk chocolate, the dark stuff.

It has a ton of good properties, and can help quite a bit with periods and other hormonal issues.

7 Peanut butter.

Fair source of fats but really good source of proteins.

8 Mac and cheese.

I always saw it as the absolute unhealthiest of unhealthy food but my dietician told me it’s actually fine for you, in moderate amounts of course.

Fair source of fats but really good source of proteins.

9 Chili!

Especially if you make a vegetarian chili, they’re super healthy, flavorful, nutritious, and easy to make.

10 Crepes.

The crepes alone are actually healthier than pancakes, it’s what you put on them that makes them unhealthy.
