Proteins
Protein can be derived from various sources — animals or plants. For this diet, lean choices of protein are preferred since there’s a lot of emphasis on reducing fat intake. A serving of protein on the menu may include any of the following: 1 oz low-fat cheese, 2 oz tuna in water, 1/2 cup of cooked beans, 5 oz of skimmed low-fat yogurt, 1 egg (once a day).
