LUNCH<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

FAST-FOOD BURGERS<\/strong>
\nWhen a whopping 64% of calories come from\u00a0fat, even a low-carb marketing makeover can’t turn this cash cow into healthy food. Cruise home and grill your own. Rating: F<\/p>\n

COTTAGE CHEESE<\/strong>
\nYes, it’s calcium- and protein-pumped, but this lumpy cheese isn’t quite as wholesome as you may think. A cup of the curd packs 918 mg of sodium–more than 35% of a healthy daily salt intake–so if you have high blood pressure, limit your intake. Rating: B<\/p>\n

TOMATOES<\/strong>
\nWith just 35\u00a0calories\u00a0and 40 percent of your daily vitamin C apiece–plus a bounty of cancer fighting lycopene in every bite–tomatoes are one of the best vegetables you can eat, even if you have to resort to getting them as sauce on your slice. Rating: A<\/p>\n

PIZZA<\/strong>
\nItalian docs recently found that guys who ate a small 6-inch pizza once a week had a 22% lower chance of suffering a coronary than patients who rarely touched the stuff. Rating: C<\/p>\n

CHILI<\/strong>
\nDrive-up chili is a good source of protein and slow-release carbs. It’s also an excellent source of\u00a0fiber, with a single-cup serving packing nearly 10 grams or artery-clearing, appetite controlling fiber. Rating: B<\/p>\n

SUBS<\/strong>
\nKeep the meats lean, the vegetables plentiful, avoid mayonnaise-laden toppings, and this ship’s a go. Rating: B<\/p>\n

CHICKEN<\/strong>
\nAt 27 g of protein per skin-and-boneless 3-oz breast, chicken is one of the best muscle foods on legs. Rating: A<\/p>\n

FRENCH FRIES<\/strong>
\nAre they the new “cancer sticks”? Possibly, thanks to the combination of frying and a cancer-causer called acrylamide in every fry. Rating: F<\/p>\n

SPINACH<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0iron\u00a0in spinach is spackle for your sinew, helping to rebuild the muscle-tissue that strength training tears down. Rating: A<\/p>\n

APPLES<\/strong>
\nAn apple a day could keep a hacking cough away. Studies show that apples help to counteract damage from inhaled cigarette smoke. Rating: A<\/p>\n

ONIONS<\/strong>
\nQuercetin-rich onions help battle cataracts, cancer and heart disease. (But be careful! They don’t do much for your social life.) Rating: B<\/p>\n

NACHOS<\/strong>
\nSwap regular chips for baked, lowfat cheese for full, add some salsa, refried beans and guac, and the angry clash of chips and cheese redeems itself big time. Rating: C<\/p>\n

SUSHI<\/strong>
\nWant to appear smarter? Order sushi. Types of fat called EPA and DHA in fatty fish like salmon are important components of brain and sperm cells. So you’re covered no matter which body part you think with. Rating: B<\/p>\n

TUNA<\/strong>
\nStudies shows that increasing protein intake to 1.4 g per kilogram of body weight helps to trigger\u00a0muscle growth. A 3-oz can of tuna packs 20 g–providing a whole lot of bang toward bigger guns. Rating: A<\/p>\n

DARK CHOCOLATE<\/strong>
\nThe high-quality antioxidants in the cocoa justify this indulgence, helping to delay aging and prevent the buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. Just stick to small servings. Rating: B<\/p>\n

TURKEY<\/strong>
\nBarflies, beware: All that\u00a0alcohol\u00a0may leave you peeing your zinc stores down the pub urinal, causing your testosterone levels to plunge. Gobbling turkey will help cover your losses. Light meat is a good source and has less fat than dark. Rating: A<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOOD RATING<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>KEY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A = Eat as often as you like
\nB = Eat every day, in moderation
\nC = Eat once a week
\nD = Limit your intake
\nF = Public health hazard–be afraid, be very afraid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
