Leaves Leaves Leaves!Nurse's Notes The amount of food from the Protein Foods Group you need to eat depends on age, sex, and level of physical activity. Most Americans eat enough food from this group, but need to choose leaner and more varied selections of protein sources.
Foods in the meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, and seed groups provide nutrients that are vital for good health. These benefits include:
Choosing foods from the Protein Food Group that are high in saturated fat and cholesterol may have several health implications. They include an increased risk for coronary heart disease and obesity. Examples of some foods high in cholesterol are egg yolks and organ meats such as liver and giblets. To help keep blood cholesterol levels healthy, limit the amount of these foods you eat. A high intake of fats also makes it difficult to avoid consuming more calories than are recommended. Eating seeds and nuts also have health benefits. Peanuts and certain tree nuts (i.e., walnuts, almonds, and pistachios) may reduce the risk of heart disease. Nuts and seeds are high in calories so considering eating them in small portions and choose unsalted nuts. From the Admission Office
