Eight Delicious Snacks That Burn Fat

Amy Taylor June 07, 2016

What if eating more helps you burn more calories? That would be super delicious. But is it possible? Fortunately, yes. There are certain foods that can actually help you burn fats and tone your body. Substituting them for your usual high-calorie snacks is a great strategy that can help you reach your weight loss goals.

An apple and milk

Any fruit makes a great snack. But you want to pair it with protein to make it more satisfying. This low-calorie pair of snack can keep you full for hours. Not only that, you get to intake fibre that promotes better digestion plus antioxidants that boost your immunity.

Avocado

Creamy, rich and really filling. This super food makes a great spread for breads and crackers, and dips for tortilla. Avocado contains monounsaturated fats that are good for your body. It’s a perfect choice if you’re craving for something creamy, rich and a little savoury. Try making some guacamole. Yum.

Berries

Eat them whole, add them in your morning cereal, or turn them into a smoothie - berries are very good for your body and can help facilitate fat loss. If you’re making a smoothie, add Greek yogurt to make it more rich and filling. You also benefit from the protein and good bacteria from the yogurt.

Edamame

One cup of boiled soybeans contains 17 grams of protein and 8 grams of fibre. What’s more - it only has 189 calories! Snacking on this superfood will leave you feeling full for longer.

Lentils

Healthy salads make a wonderful afternoon snack. Eat them and you’re sure to not binge eat during dinner. Lentils are so versatile you can add them in almost everything. But you can also mix them with some leaves like watercress or lettuce and tomatoes for a delicious salad.

Egg

If you want something light yet filling for breakfast, never do away without eggs. Whatever way you prepare it - egg is such a healthy, delicious and protein-filled food that can make losing weight easier for you as it reduces appetite, making it easy for you to control your portion sizes.

Green tea

Not really a snack but is a great treat to fight that afternoon slump. Green tea has been shown to help dieters lose weight. Thanks to its metabolism-boosting antioxidants that boost your body’s fat-burning ability.

Nuts

Pistachios are packed with fibre, protein and healthy fats. Same with almonds. Just a handful of these delicious nuts can help you ease those hunger pangs. They are a good choice if you are craving for something crispy and really flavourful.
