    I like to eat the "basics."
    Here's my version
    Chicken breast
    beef roast or ground
    fish
    greek yogurt
    cheese
    Lotsa great veggies
    Whole grain bread
    Your fav fruit
    I'm a fizzy cultured drink person: Cas Cal, Zevia, GT Dave's Synergy.
    And the occasional (hopefully) dessert!

    Everybody's tastes and chemistry are different....eat what makes you feel satisfied and energetic for your workouts!:happy:

    Welcome to MFP!

    Logging my food has really helped me control the sodium and cholersterol in my diet.

    The fitness logging also helps me get in the exercise I need which is also essential for heart health. (I do a lot of walking)

    You might also try meditation and yoga which I believe are better than Beta Blockers for keeping the heart rate and BP down!

    Good luck to you!

    Me too! I love it that we can track cholesterol and saturated fats so we can make changes accordingly!

    Hi! You are off to a good start by going MFP! I just started back yesterday and I am looking forward to seeing my results in a few months!
    I was actually just reading an article titled Top 15 Heart-Healthy Foods from Eating Well online. The article listed the following: apples, yogurt, raisins, wholegrains, beans, salmon, nuts, chocolate (yes, it said chocolate! Moderate amounts of flavanol-rich dark chocolate), tomatoes, berries, pomegranates, banannas, popcorn and green tea.
    Remember to read labels and stay away from trans fat, saturated fat, salt and added sugars.
    Good luck!! You can add me as a friend if you like :)
