High-Calorie Foods That Are Good for You

9. Salmon

Anyone on a heart-healthy diet should make plenty of room for salmon on their plates. Salmon is an amazing source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health. These healthy fats also support brain function and benefit the body in a variety of other ways. Salmon has as much protein as most meats but can be easier to digest. For a change from some of the steamed vegetables that often accompany salmon, try pairing it with a citrus fruit salad. The oil in the fish helps the body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins from any fruits or vegetables.
