Can't decide whether to go low-carb or low-fat? While you mull it over, take a peek at these 10 foods -- they can serve as staples for either diet.

  • Asparagus It's low-carb and low-fat.
  • Zucchini A low-cal, low-carb veggie.
  • Tomatoes Eat them as is or use in sauces, soups, or sliced on salads.
  • Broth & Stock Soup Use as a base for soups, stews, and sauces.
  • Wine One four-ounce serving is correlated with good health.
  • Game Meats Think venison and elk -- healthy substitutes for beef -- and you'll get some lean protein.
  • Berries A good choice for satisfying a sweet craving. High in vitamins and antioxidants too.
  • Dark Greens & Lettuces They add volume to a meal without calorie overload.
  • Salmon It's fatty, but its omega-3 fatty acids make it healthy. Full of protein too.
  • Chicken & Turkey Both are low-fat and excellent sources of protein. Organic is best.
