10 Foods Every Man Should Have
Man should be always strong and healthy enough to feed family. Or maybe smart enough to think about helping other (the real man do so). All these physical and moral abilities come from good food. So what foods every man should have in fridge?
1. Frozen orange juice concentrate
The vitamin C content of OJ plunges as soon as it leaves the factory — if it’s in a carton. Buy the frozen kind, and you stay ahead of your daily C needs.
2. 1% milk
Loaded with Vitamin D and calcium. Sport your milk mustache with pride.
3. Almonds or walnuts
An ideal midday snack high in vitamin E and fiber.
4. Berries
Fresh or frozen, berries - choose your favorite kind - are loaded with antioxidants. Add them to a bowl of low-fat yogurt for a healthy, refreshing snack.
5. Cranberry juice
The all-purpose mixer can keep your internal plumbing clean, thus helping to prevent urinary tract infections. When you’re not thirsty, go for dried cranberries..
6. Romaine lettuce
Sounds ridiculously simple, but it’s an ideal base for your salad, especially if it’s of the Caesar variety. And this phytonutrient-dense leaf makes a great bread substitute if you’re cutting down on carbs.
7. Eggs
The least expensive, most easily digested, highest-quality protein source out there: egg whites.
8. Avocado
They’re high in total fat, but it’s mostly the good kind: monounsaturated. They’re also a great source of vitamin E.
9. Canned anchovies, sardines or herring
A cheap, quick source of omega-3 fatty acids. Add the little fish to a salad or stuff them into a whole wheat pita sandwich. Good food, fast.
10. Broccoli
This salad stalwart is a key cancer fighter and is loaded with fiber and phytonutrients.

I like berries and broccoli, but that’s about it. I rarely eat eggs because I don’t like the texture and honestly think they’re a little too easily digested. Romaine lettuce always tasted funny to me; I’m a fan of iceberg, even though it’s one of the least nutritious types. I love how it crunches. I can’t drink anything but skim milk because of how thick it is. It doesn’t taste cold enough (and that activates my gag reflex) and it feels like it coats my mouth and throat. I’m the kind of person who puts ice cubes in my milk in the summer time.
