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

STEAK<\/strong>
\nYou know lean cuts are good for building brawn. But studies suggest beef may also benefit your brains. It’s a prime source of good quality iron and zinc,\u00a0nutrients\u00a0key to perception, memory, and reasoning. Rating: B<\/p>\n

CORN<\/strong>
\nCorn’s a bit of a nutritional underachiever compared with many of its produce-aisle shelf-mates. At about 40 g per cup, it’s also one of the most carb-heavy cups of vegetables you can eat. Rating: C<\/p>\n

FISH<\/strong>
\nMake it your goal to eat broiled or baked fish at least once weekly. Compared to once-monthly fish eaters, you’ll be 28% less likely to suffer an irregular heartbeat, according to a recent study in the journal Circulation. Rating: A<\/p>\n

CHILI PEPPERS<\/strong>
\nA compound called capsaicin which gives chilies their bite can also torch your appetite and increases your\u00a0calorie burn. It works by boosting activity within your nervous system. (Keep milk or yogurt on hand to reduce any excess burn.) Rating: B<\/p>\n

PASTA<\/strong>
\nSo you’re not a marathoner. Hard-earned muscle still needs insulin (an anabolic hormone) to supply the fuel that builds mass. Carb for complex carb, whole-wheat and white pasta are essentially equal–choose whole-wheat for triple the fiber. Rating: B<\/p>\n

BROCCOLI<\/strong>
\nEvery stalk of crunchy green broccoli contains hundreds of compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates–the nutritional equivalent of Teflon against illness and disease. Rating: A<\/p>\n

BOOZE<\/strong>
\nGood news: Alcohol plus a steak dinner works like lighter fluid on your\u00a0metabolism. Bad news: it’s also a known enabler of belly fat. Compromise: stick with wine or limit yourself to no more than two single-shot drinks, minus the fruit juice and sugary soda mixers. Rating: C<\/p>\n

OLIVE OIL<\/strong>
\nOlive oil is good for you for a thousand reasons. Here’s one more: it’ll keep you lean. Research shows that guys who dip their bread in olive oil eat 25% less on average than guys who choose butter. Rating: B<\/p>\n

GRAPES<\/strong>
\nArguably the hardest-working, disease-fighting fruit you can eat. Not only do grapes contain resveratrol to help cancer-proof your cells, studies show they also contain a compound called pterostilbene that may help battle diabetes. Rating: B<\/p>\n

BEANS<\/strong>
\nThey’re the Rodney Dangerfields of food–getting no respect, despite a rich supply of\u00a0antioxidants\u00a0that help to keep your aging body from rusting like a junkyard car. Although all beans are good, black beans are the most potent antioxidant source. Rating: A<\/p>\n

LAMB<\/strong>
\nOlympic hopefuls, take note: A 3-oz lean cut of lamb packs a powerful shot-put of isoleucine, leucine, and valine, branched-chain amino acids that may delay fatigue in athletes. Souvlaki, anyone? Rating: B<\/p>\n

FISH STICKS<\/strong>
\nFish masquerading as “healthy.” Don’t be fooled: That mild white meat is most likely breaded in a trans-fat-soaked crust. Rating: F<\/p>\n

WILD RICE<\/strong>
\nTechnically, it’s not rice at all. But so what? Wild rice is crammed with intense nutty taste. It’s also full of appetite-stomping fiber that forces your gut to burn more calories. Not bad for what is actually the seeds for long-grain marsh grass. Rating: B<\/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":"
