All great stuff, even the meats (even though I don't eat them). May I add nuts and beans?

Definitely good choices. I wanted to keep the list short so I had to take the best of the best. I included peanut butter, but all nuts are generally a good source of healthy fats. Beans are also good, but a little higher in calories and more difficult, at least for me to get them in to my daily meals easily.
