125 Best Foods in Your Supermarket

It's the central paradox of weight loss: The people who exercise their jaws as often as their muscles are the folks who consistently stay ahead of the abdominal curve--the one that stretches belt leather and strains buttonholes. They win the waistline war because (1) their fat-melting metabolisms are stoked with high-grade fuel, and (2) their bellies are filled with the good, so they don't have much room for the bad and the ugly.

How can you achieve a belly that's too full to become fat? We asked our crack team of nutrition advisors to help identify foods that keep a man in optimum operating condition. Then we scoured the grocery store to locate the top contenders. Finally we sampled, and sampled, and sampled every last one. Sometimes we even licked our plates.

The result: the 125 best foods for men. And they're all foods you'll want to eat, not feel you have to eat. Your premeal prayers have just been answered.
