- Nuts and seeds (e.g., walnuts, chia seeds, hemp hearts)
- Fatty fish (e.g., salmon, sardines)
- Olive oil and avocado

- Protein-Rich Foods: Protein helps you feel full and supports muscle mass. Consider:
- Lean proteins like chicken, fish, egg whites, beans, peas, lentils, and tofu
- Nut butters (e.g., almond, cashew, peanut) on toast or apple slices

- Nutrient-Dense Foods: Focus on foods that are high in nutrients but also calorie-dense:
- Whole grains like whole-wheat bread and brown rice
- Fruits and vegetables, especially those low in potassium if you have kidney issues

- Healthy Snacks: Incorporate snacks that are both nutritious and calorie-dense:
- Guacamole on crackers or sandwiches
- Canned or smoked salmon in place of tuna salad or cold cuts

- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are beneficial for autoimmune diseases and can be found in:
- Flaxseeds (can be added to granola, cereal, yogurt, baked goods, or smoothies)
- Chia seeds mixed into yogurt or oatmeal

Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet to ensure they align with your treatment plan.
