But it can be done.

convenient, and support your energy levels.

5 Foods to Eat When Trying to Drop Fat 

1. Vegetables 
2. Fresh Fruits
3. Lean Protein
4. Greek Yogurt
5. Nuts and Seeds 

1. Vegetables

Why: Vegetables are essential for a well-rounded diet.

Pre-cut vegetables, such as carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, or cherry tomatoes, are convenient and can be easily incorporated into meals or enjoyed as snacks. 

They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

2. Fresh Fruits

Why: Like vegetables, fruits are essential for a well-rounded diet. 

Do everything you can to Incorporate whole fruits like berries, apples, and citrus fruits into your diet.

Fruits offer vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them a nutritious and convenient snack.

Keep pre-washed and chopped fruit on hand for quick and easy access. 

3. Lean Protein

Why: Incorporating lean proteins into your diet is essential for muscle maintenance and overall satiety.

Grilled chicken, baked fish, or tofu are versatile options that can be prepared in bulk and used in various dishes throughout the week.

4. Greek Yogurt

Why: Greek yogurt is a protein-rich dairy option that can be a quick and satisfying snack. It also contains probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health. 

I tend to choose plain, unsweetened varieties and add my own fresh fruits for sweetness and more quality nutrients. 

5. Nuts and Seeds

Why: Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds, are nutrient-dense and provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber. 

They are portable and make for a convenient on-the-go snack.

In Summary 

Beyond these foods, remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and consider portion control to manage calorie intake. 

Planning and preparing meals in advance can also save time and help you stick to your dietary goals, even during busy days.

In health,

Craig
