Weight loss: Feel full on fewer calories

Protein and dairy

These include food from both plant and animal sources. The healthiest lower energy-dense choices are foods that are high in protein but low in fat and calories, such as:

  • Beans, peas and lentils, which are also good sources of fiber
  • Fish
  • Lean meat and poultry
  • Low-fat or fat-free dairy products, such as milk, yogurt and cheese
  • Egg whites
