9 Dietitian-Approved Foods to Eat for More Energy—That Won’t Pack on Pounds

Almond butter on whole grain bread

What could be easier than a quick schmear on some hearty multigrain bread? Check the nutrition labels on your bread package and choose the highest fiber content while avoiding unnecessary additives like high fructose corn syrup. (Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Breads are a smart choice.) Natural almond butter provides healthy fatty acids and proteins that when coupled with the complex carbohydrates of the bread, will keep your energy levels high. Feeling nostalgic? Just spread some all-natural fruit jam or sliced fresh berries, and you’ll feel like a kid with your stand-by PB&J!
