10 Fat Burning Breakfast Foods
Published by worldlifestyle.com

Starting your day with these foods packed with “healthy” fats, protein and antioxidants, promotes fat-burning and suppressed cravings. Thank goodness they also taste delicious.

1. Avocados - A side of avocado can be added to just about any breakfast menu. The monounsaturated fats in avocados are much more likely to be utilized by your body as a slow-burning energy source than saturated fats.

2. Oatmeal - Small doses of whole grains are known to prevent your body from storing fats. Top your oatmeal with berries for added antioxidants and fat-burning sustenance.

3. Eggs - Eggs are a nutritiously rich food containing iron, calcium, vitamin B12, thiamine, and protein. Together these ingredients create a powerhouse for fat burning.

4. Almond butter – Not only do nuts and nut butters help to build muscles, but they also reduce cravings. Try almond butter for a change of pace from peanut butter.

5. Salmon – Fire up fat burning and trigger fullness with salmon or any other type of fatty fish (tuna or mackerel are other good options).

6. Berries – When it comes to fruit, berries are always the healthiest option. Packed with antioxidants (and low in sugar), berries can also prevent cravings, thus promoting weight loss. Add berries to oatmeal or cereal for a touch of natural sweetness.

7. Green tea – Known as the healthiest beverage on the planet, a cup of green tea is an excellent way to start your morning. Loaded with antioxidants and a low dose of caffeine, green tea aids fat burning and can boost your metabolism.

8. Grapefruit - Not only is grapefruit super refreshing in the morning, it can also help regulate blood sugar and metabolism.

Note: Grapefruit is not advised for people taking certain medications, so ask your doctor before adding it to your diet.

9. Green vegetables – Green vegetables, such as kale, are super nutrient-dense. They can suppress your appetite and clear toxins from your body. A cleaner body means fewer bad cravings later in the day!

10. Lean meats – Burn fat and gain muscle with turkey and other lean meats. Turkey makes a nice addition to a breakfast omelet for added protein.
