Lose weight by eating protein during meals and snacks

Not only does protein assist in making you feel full and less likely to crave unhealthy snacks, but it may also help you in burning calories.

Jeff Hample, Ph.D., R.D., and a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association says that, “Protein is made up mainly of amino acids, which are harder for your body to breakdown, so you burn more calories getting rid of them.''

Try consuming protein by including it in every main meal you consume, and if it is animal protein, just make sure it is lean.

Snack

When having a snack, consider making it a protein-based one as this may help you lose weight. For example, you could have a few tablespoons of beans, or a few slices of turkey or other lean meat.
