Fruits (2 or 3 servings per day)

Although they don’t contribute protein to your diet, fruits are rich in fiber, potassium, and magnesium, and usually low in fat. Examples of a serving include 1 small whole fruit or ½ cup cut-up fruit or berries. Pineapples are high in carbohydrates, so keep these amounts smaller. One whole banana or avocado is worth 2 points (or 1 point per half).

Extra virgin olive oil (2 to 3 tablespoons per day)

Fat helps your body absorb essential vitamins and bolsters your immune system. While saturated fat and trans fat have been implicated in cardiovascular disease, monounsaturated fat—especially extra virgin olive oil—has been shown to have tremendous protective benefits. Large studies have associated this healthy oil with a lower risk of many chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
