Eggs, coffee and potatoes are among the foods health experts think get a bad rap for bad reasons.

Eggs, potatoes, coffee: These kitchen staples, among others, have gained bad reputations, nutrition experts say, but don’t necessarily deserve it. In fact, registered dietitians, doctors and nutrition professors are increasingly advising people to eat them.

Nutrition advice is ever changing, which can leave consumers uncertain about which foods are actually healthy. NBC News asked nine health experts about the foods they think have been wrongly villainized. Here are some of the items they listed and the benefits people may miss out on if they forgo them entirely.

Love the info here, Ill add what they say about not looking at single foods in isolation and making a balanced diet is necessery. Psychologically you're going to have cravings for certain foods, denying your cravings can lead to binging when you finally do give in. Find healthy ways to satiate them. For example I crave sweets especially ice cream butn a good Greek Yogurt with zero sugar added hits the spot. Eggs and Avocado are amazing if you're craving something 'greasy'

It's so hard to find a good full-fat, no added sugar yogurt. All the low-fat crap is loaded with sugar so that it actually tastes like anything. Recommend any brands?

Around my area, I have stony field organic probiotic yogurt. It contains whole milk, culture, vitamin d, and pectin, and nothing else. (Idgaf about organic, but I wanted full fat probiotic, zero sugar. It’s not cheap, but my instant pot has a yogurt setting so I can just make more.)

That brand may not be available by you, but if you look for a multi-probiotic yogurt (multiple strains; this variety has 6), you’ll be more likely to find something good, in my experience.
