Ty Ferrell's List of Foods You Can't Afford Not To Buy

I get a lot of questions about different foods that I eat. Soooo... I decided to compose a quick list of foods that everyone will need to support a healthy lifestyle.

1. Whey Protein Supplement:
I do not know one person that can not use this valuable asset in a diet. Some would argue it's not a whole food source and therefore is not a good choice. So what... It is a supplement to substitute for a whole protein when you are on the go. A decent source will still supply quality protein the body needs. There are many times when I am between clients and do not have time to munch down a turkey drumstick. Sometimes I need fast and efficient and this definitely fits the bill.

2. Green's Plus Supplement:
For the same reason as above. A person needs vegetation in every meal. Chewing on a lettuce head while training a client isn't exactly appropriate.

3. Frozen fruit and vegetables:
Fresh fruit will put a big hole in your wallet, these days. Frozen goods make it easy to toss a protein shake together in a blender, and have it fortified with super berries like blueberries and strawberries. Also, frozen vegetables defrosted in put into an omelet are very nice.

4. Fish oil:
Besides giving me extra calories when needed. Fish oil is high in omega 3. A healthy diet should be higher in omega 3 than monounsaturated fats and saturated fats. Not only this fish oil generally has more antioxidant power than your typical multivitamin.

5. dried fruit and mixed nuts
Dried fruits like prunes, raisins, and cranberries are my favorites. Any nut but a peanut is a good candidate to mix. With this you can mix up a healthy snack when on the go.

There you have it. At just about any given time these foods are in my fridge and cupboard.
