This is a low-fat dairy food that is mostly water and protein, with very little carbohydrate and almost no fat. A single bowl provides 14 grams of protein for only 81 calories, meaning protein makes up over two-thirds of its energy. It also delivers a quarter of your daily vitamin B12, along with useful amounts of phosphorus and selenium, all in a light, moist texture.

A normal bowl works well as a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack that actually keeps you full, especially before or after a workout. The pineapple adds natural sweetness, so you get a dessert-like taste without much sugar. Since it is low in calories but high in protein, it is easy to fit into most days, though you might want to pair it with some whole-grain crackers or nuts if you need more lasting energy.
