Beef
Sure, there have been recent headlines how meat is making people fat—and it’s fair to treat them with some skepticism—but if you’re opting for lean cuts of grass-fed beef (like top round and sirloin tip), you’ll get a good source of iron and zinc, the two most important minerals in the body, Scritchfield says. “Iron helps deliver oxygen to tissues and organs, while zinc supports the immune system,” she explains. Plus, fat isn’t always the villain. It adds to taste quality, leaving you feeling satisfied after a meal and keeping you full longer so you don’t splurge on processed foods high in sugar and saturated fat later on. “Serve up a palm-sized portion, or try sliced steak into your dishes,” Scritchfield recommends.
