Nutrient Maximization

Michi's Ladder  (let me know if this link doesn't work.  I can e-mail you the pdf)

Check out this great link on eating smart.  Replace foods in the bottom tiers for foods in the top two tiers to maximize nutrition in each calorie you consume, feel full longer and loose weight faster.

Foods should be eaten raw, steamed, grilled, poached, baked, or broiled. Frying automatically drops even the best foods into tier 5.

Here's my favs from the top two:
Avacados
Oatmeal
Cheese
Coffee
Sweet Potatoes
Tea Tomatoes
Broccoli
Brussles Sprouts
Carrots
Cauliflower
Spinach
Strawberries
Yogurt
Zucchini
Peas
Shakeology
Raspberries
Grapes
Peppers
Pears
Grapefruit
Fish
Apples
Blueberries
Rice
Couscous
Kiwifruit
Chickpeas
Citrus Fruits
Apples
Feta Cheese
Applesauce
Bananas
Whole Wheat Bread
Wild Game
Sunflower Seeds
Rye Crisps
Fowl
Eggs

Stuff I'm not giving up:
Beef (Ours is extra lean, we raise it!)
Wine
Shellfish
Pickles
Nuts 

Other than that, I an cut the rest out completely...except for the occasional terrible fried food or donut from R&D, they're the best on the planet.
