Your dietary staples should include:
Lean animal protein sources, including but not limited to:
-Most turkey and chicken in general, especially if it is skinless. Turkey and chicken breasts especially. Contrary to dumb internet rumors, going to the deli counter to have them slice up a roasted or smoked turkey breast for you is also fine.
-Ground turkey, chicken, beef or pork that is >90% lean
-Virtually all forms of fish, even the fattier fishes are very good for you. Canned fish is still often packed in oil, however, which should be avoided.
-Whole eggs. The unhealthiness of whole eggs is a myth; contrary to past assumptions, they have no impact on heart disease at all.

The main reason for this is that cholesterol in food does not impact the actual cholesterol level in your blood; almost all your cholesterol is made in your liver, based mainly on your saturated fat & trans fat consumption.
Whole grains, including but not limited to: -Whole wheat bread, bagels, rolls, etc. -Whole wheat pasta -Brown rice -Oatmeal -Whole grain breakfast cereals like Cheerios and Grape Nuts
Virtually all fruits and vegetables, including beans and dry-roasted nuts.
Healthy fats like olive oil (for sauces, dressings & low-temperature cooking) and canola oil (for high-temperature cooking), and Omega-3 rich fishes.
Low fat dairy products like skim milk, low fat/nonfat yogurt and reduced fat cheeses. Just be aware that some �reduced fat� cheese are still relatively high in saturated fat.
