I would suggest staying away from fast food altogether, due to the high number of calories and it's high fat and salt content, but if you do feel the urge then there are some swaps you can do to
help lower the amount of calories:
Guava is a tropical fruit that is rich in fiber and has
a low amount of calories at the same time.
They'll satisfy your desire to crunch on something, they are filled with water which will keep you full and they have
a low amount of calories.
Celery is a very cheap vegetable that can be found in any market, has
a low amount of calories and a moderate content of fiber, that will aid in boosting your metabolism and increase weight loss.
But, if you constantly make good food choices, especially foods that are fiber - rich and have
a low amount of calories, you increase the likelihood of a successful and natural weight loss exponentially.
Instead you will consume protein, fiber and overall —
lower amount of calories.
Having said that, striving to eat
a low amount of calories is unnecessary to achieve your fitness and health goals.
It makes it easier to stay satisfied on
a lower amount of calories, making weight management long - term become easy.
When weight gain occurs even on
a low amount of calories there is usually something going on hormonally beyond the «excess» cardio: I've also gained a tonne of weight despite running 90 - 100mpw plus other activites on an average 2500 - 3000 calories (despite burning over 2000 per day through exercise) so I do empathise with that problem!
Spinach is among the most satiating foods due to their high fiber content and
low amount of calories.
During a detox, a good weight training program would be particularly beneficial, as
the low amount of calories can be very detrimental to muscle mass.
Grapefruit contains very
low amounts of calories, compared to many other fruits, which tend to have higher calories in comparison to vegetables.
Muesli has comparatively low sugar and a very
low amount of calories than other foods.
With
a low amount of calories in these sprouts, they are the perfect fiber - rich food that will keep you feeling full without significantly increasing your daily calorie intake.
A big green salad with simple grilled chicken breast and a squeeze of lemon, for example, would be an ideal pre-cheat meal because it maximizes satiety for
the lowest amount of calories.
