7. Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese

Cheese is rich in calcium, like other dairy products, but certain varieties can also provide other important nutrients. A cup of part-skim ricotta cheese contains 264 mcg of vitamin A, about 30% DV. Additionally, ricotta cheese contains high levels of whey protein, which helps promote muscle growth and can reduce cholesterol levels.
