Enjoy Bread, Enjoy Yogurt and Still Enjoy Calories Loss
You should not eat excessive amounts of breads or grains when you are aiming for calories loss across each day, but you do need to have some of these foods in your diet. Keep basic breads and grains around to use as snacks or for sandwiches and low calorie meals. Eaten in limited portions, they will provide your body with the energy it needs and still accommodate your weight loss plan.
You can throw some cereal on top of your yogurt to add some fiber and crunch and make a great, fast and healthy breakfast that has less than 300 calories by using whole-grain, reduced sugar and bran cereals. You do not need to buy special low calorie bread as most whole grain bread has under100 calories per slice. Just remember, if you are aiming for calories loss, a serving is one slice, not two.
Instant brown rice is very healthy, easy and fast to make so throw some frozen vegetables and brown rice into a steamer, cook some chicken breasts and twenty minutes later you have a meal. Whole wheat pitas can be used with a meal, with a snack, and if you stuff some hummus and salad into one, call it lunch. Bake one and cut it into pieces for some crunchy chips as they have less than 200 calories and endless possibilities.
Oatmeal is a great filling food for breakfast and has lots of fiber that will help you feel full throughout the day. At lunch or dinner, eat pasta sparingly, and look for whole grain pasta, but do keep some around for a quick meal. Remember to eat more of an accompanying salad than pasta when you want the benefits of calories loss.
Eat whole grain crackers and cheese as a snack instead of potato chips and you will be surprised at how much of a calories loss this accounts for. Crunchy and filling with hardly any calories, rice cakes are the classic diet food. Add a tablespoon of peanut butter on top for some taste and protein.
It is a little bit tricky to keep dairy items on hand because they expire, but some staple dairy foods should always be in the refrigerator. Include in your collection, low calorie margarine, 2% milk, the best to keep on hand and low calorie cheese that can add plenty of flavor to meals and yogurt. Yogurts and string cheese are tasty, portable, healthy snacks and ensure a far greater calories loss than chips or milkshakes.
Yogurts are fabulous for those following a low calorie diet. Individually portioned and low in calories, they are sweet, great sources of calcium and the perfect size for a snack usually containing less than 200 calories. When the grocery store has a sale on yogurt, stock up.
Frozen foods including grains and dairy products can be kept for a long time, are easily stored in your freezer and should be included in your calories loss menu. You can never have too many frozen vegetables, frozen fruit in its own juice is great for a snack or in smoothies and frozen yogurt is a healthy alternative to ice cream. Most frozen diet meals contain less than 300 calories and are wonderful to keep at work so that you always have a fast, easy, lunch or even dinner option that will contribute to your weight loss.
