So I'm starting to dabble into foods that are actually better for me. Right now I go shopping and go for the "fat free" or "low fat" labels. I know that this isnt always the case and I want to make the step to eat foods that are better for me and promote higher metabolism and weight loss.

Let's start with Protein:

What types of foods do you like that are high in Protein?? *Please keep in mind im new to this and need something with taste! LOL"

    beef, chicken, turkey, fish, nuts. Also things like milk and cheese have protien as well, but not a huge amount.

    Eggs, fish, lean meat, protein shakes/bars (though be careful, a lot of them have a ton of sugar too), milk, almonds, lentils, beans.

    Hope this helps. Protein is great, keeps you fuller for longer and helps build and maintain muscle.
