Great foods for getting lean
Reaching your fitness goals can be a tasty experience…
There are plenty of health and fitness goals, but for many it’s getting lean. Thanks to fad diets, a lot of people think losing body fat is a miserable process and involves a lot of bland and low-calorie food. This doesn’t have to be the case! Eating plenty of greens is great, but you can be a little more creative than a plate of steamed greens.
To lose body fat, you need to be a in a calorie deficit – meaning you expend more calories from your daily activities than you consume. Being too strict about this isn’t sustainable and its why a lot of people give up making healthier choices. Instead, eat smart: choose delicious foods that actually fuel results.
Neat Nutrition’s new single-serve sachets are perfect for using in the kitchen, so here are some top high-protein picks from Neat to get you started. Some might contain greens, but you’ll hardly notice!
Chocolate Mint Smoothie
Good for: lower in carbs, high protein
There’s nothing bland or boring about this smoothie! A combination of banana, avocado and chocolate whey protein make this shake thick and creamy.
Desk-Fast Yoghurt Jars
Good for: high protein, on-the-go, lower in carbs
If you often find yourself eating breakfast at your desk, these jars are a great way to keep things tasty while also being easy to pack in a bag. Get creative with flavour combinations and keep things interesting each morning.
Cinnamon Swirl Oats
Good for: high protein, post workout refuel
Carbs are not evil. Proof is in this cinnamon swirl oats bowl – perfect for a post-workout refuel and making sure your muscles are getting everything they need to repair and grow.
