Here is a list with some healthy food ideas :)
- Go for natural, ideally organic foods if possible
~ Greek yogurt or yogurt (nonfat) - Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt
~ Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, goat cheese, skim milk or goat milk, etc.
~ Vegetables
~ Fruit & Berries
~ Beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, mixed beans, etc.) - full of fiber & protein
~ Veggie burgers (Amy's makes great veggie burgers)
~ Whole grain breads: multigrain bread, ezekiel bread, rye bread, whole wheat pitas, whole grain tortillas or bagels, etc.
~ Whole grain pasta or brown rice pasta, brown/wild rice, quinoa, buckwheat, barley, millet, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature's Path Organic, etc - high in fiber, not too high in sugar)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter - nut butter without added sugar
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond, rice or coconut milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil - good healthy fat
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh - great in sandwiches, wraps, on salads, etc.
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles or pancakes
~ Dark chocolate - in small amounts
For exercise at home you could also try some crunches, doing a work out dvd or a pilates or yoga dvd. Other than that you can also try brisk walking, swimming, joining a gym if you can, yoga or pilates classes, etc. As long as your staying active daily.
I hope this helps :)
