Steamed lentils are a versatile protein option to be enjoyed hot or cold. Trader Joe's steamed lentils add protein to any dish. I love the Trader Joe's lentils because they're precooked and ready to eat with minimal seasoning. If you're in the mood for tacos, you can warm up the lentils with some seasoning to use as your "meat." I also add cold lentils to a salad to keep myself full and satisfied throughout the day.

Meats and fishBeef, chicken and fish are great for protein, and they can double as rich sources of choline. Beef liver is one of the highest available food sources of choline, which makes sense, as the liver is the organ that produces choline. Blackened cod is a great choice for delicious and easy fish tacos. EggsEggs are the second highest food source of choline after beef liver, providing 147 milligrams per one large egg. SoybeansIf you follow a vegetarian or plant-based diet, soybeans are a great protein source that's also high in choline.

Many people might describe certain foods like chocolate, cheese or potato chips as "guilty pleasures." If you want a single serving of potato chips, for example, it's going to be one to two ounces. Single-serving bags of chipsWhen I open a full-sized bag of chips, I can lose all sense of what a single serving is. That's why I've switched to one-ounce mini bags of chips, as they're usually perfectly portioned out to be a single serving. My fiancé and I love going out to dinner for date nights, and we often share entrees or desserts.

How much water should you really be drinking a day? You've probably heard the general rule of eight glasses a day for peak health, but that's not necessarily true. If you exercise often and live in a hot climate area, for example, you may need more fluid intake. And research shows that certain medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and some antidepressants, make you retain water. How to stay hydrated beyond plain water
