Since we are on the subject of diet, here are my personal top five essential foods to always have in the house as far as fitness goes:

1. peanut butter - Made with just peanuts and nothing else. Check the ingredients list - no Kraft or Jif bullshit!

2. whole grain bread

3. romaine lettuce - I make a dressing with olive oil, salt and balsamic vinegar. Salad helps keep me moving, if you catch my drift!

4. granola - A great snack for an active person and it consists mainly of Baraka_Guru's favourite food: oats! I get something from the bulk food store that has whole ingredients in it. It can be easy to find conventional store bought granolas with bad oils in them. I also don't like this new trend of putting puffed rice and vanilla flavour in granola.... bleccchh.

5. and most importantly.... eggs!! I read somewhere this is the best source of protein, hands down. When I make an omelette, I've been using one egg and filling in the rest with egg whites from a carton (I imagine this is pretty easy to find nowadays) to help cut down on the cholesterol.

So obviously this list has a high allergic factor for those prone to that, but I think these are very key foods. They are, however, a personal list.
