Salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids which help you fight that 20’s stress. Eat it as a salad or just as it is and you’re good to go.
5. Berries

Fresh Berries
It’s time to kill the sweet craving with berries. They are a great alternative for cupcakes! A handful of these berries will satisfy that sugar-crave without the surge of insulin. Berries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of all commonly consumed fruits. To make a mini meal out of berries, mix it up with some plain yogurt and low-fat granola.
6. Eggs

Whether you eat eggs sunny side up, scrambled, or as an omelette, eggs are a great substitute from your pastry breakfast that you ate pre-20s. Often in your 20s, you’re lacking on high-quality, hunger-squashing proteins. Eggs are a great source of protein to crush that hunger and keep you going.
7. Vegetables

It’s time to eat your veggies now. In this busy and fast pace of your life you need good calories to keep you going. So, next time, grab a pack of salad instead of a pack of potato chips.
8. Quinoa
