Hey everybody;)
I've been asking myself which sorts of food are the most "bang for the buck" in terms of quantity and quality of nutrients. I've already read the "Bulletproof Kitchen" and found it unbelievably helpful, but I'd like to dig a bit deeper into the question of which sorts of food are the most "effective and/or efficient". So I'm looking for either "swiss army knife foods" or foods, that are just unbelievably valuable in one specific area, so that they should definitely be a part of my diet. I find that especially when it comes to building new healthy habits, such "instruments" come in very handy, as it is rather difficult to for example start eating healthy fats for breakfast and establish a broad variety of different breakfast arrangements at the same time. Such "bang for the buck" foods would 1. make it easier to get started and 2. be a good "safety option" later on. Thrive does a good job providing the necessary information, but perhaps there's even more helpful stuff to know;)
Let's say you could only choose from a certain amount of different sorts of food, which would those be? Perhaps divided into categories of protein source, fat source, carb source, vegetables, fruit and others.
I understand that nutrition is not all about efficiency or something and I don't even want to limit the food sources in my diet - this is more geared towards figuring out which sorts of food I should definitely include in my diet, which foods I should always have at hand and so on.
From the Thrive lessons so far I'd conclude that eggs for example would probably be the perfect "swiss army knife food", as they combine a pretty high amount of healthy fats and good protein (in a relatively small portion, too). Another Go-To food of mine right now is greek yogurt for the same reasons. But I'm pretty clueless when it comes to vegetables and fruit, for example.
Looking forward to your opinion!
