Beef


If you don't have high cholesterol, Thompson recommends eating red meat twice a week for optimal hair health. Not only does beef have the protein you need, but also B vitamins, iron, and zinc, important minerals for healthy hair.





Eggs or Egg Whites


Vegetarian? Can't eat red meat for health reasons? Then egg whites are the way to go. ';If you can't eat an animal protein, egg whites are the next best thing,'; says Thompson. ';Their value is underestimated in our society.';





Brown Short-Grain Rice


You should have complex carbohydrates, which feed you energy over a longer period of time than refined carbohydrates, with your protein source at meals. Brown short-grain rice is an ideal form. It's also a good source of B vitamins and some fiber.





Cottage Cheese


Try low-fat cottage cheese for a protein-packed breakfast or lunch on the go when you don't have time to make eggs. Top it with some fresh berries for an added serving of fruit. Plus, cottage cheese is also a good source of calcium.





Bacon


Although it's not a good food to eat if you're trying to lose weight, eating a normal serving of bacon for extra B vitamins, zinc, and protein.





Salmon


Try it smoked or fresh at breakfast, lunch, or dinner for a good dose of protein along with B vitamins, including B12, and other vitamins and minerals.Healthy hair is grown from inside out. What are the best foods for hair?
