    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 :)
