10 Foods That Won’t Make You Fat
1. Broccoli is high in fiber and Vitamin C (216% to be exact). Broccoli florets look like tiny trees. They remind me of the bushes I used to pee behind when I couldn’t make it to the restroom. Also when consumed raw, broccoli tastes like dirt.
2. Oatmeal is the breakfast of champions, not Wheaties. Why? Because it’s a fixture in every bodybuilder’s diet and they are super lean. A 1/2 cup of uncooked oats is only 150 calories. If you add a scoop of vanilla whey protein or a side of egg whites, you won’t be hungry afterwards.
3. Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. They are low in calories and can be added to cereal, greek yogurt, or eaten alone. They can also be used to soil a clean set of bedsheets.
4. Salsa is best when you can see the individually chopped peppers, tomatoes, and onions. It’s low in fat and calories so pile it on! It adds a delicious flavor. Use it on your egg white omelet or toss over beans and rice.
5. Tuna is the cheapest protein you can buy and it’s low in fat. Try adding lemon juice, pepper, or green beans for variety. I bring Starkist pouches to work and eat it straight from the packet. My coworkers hate me for it. I still do it.
6. Apples are a refreshing addition to your diet. They are packed with antioxidants, flavonoids, and are an excellent source of fiber. Every time you bite into an apple (skin on), you are improving your heart health. Like sweet, crunchy apples? Choose Gala.
7. Green Tea is not a food but it pistol whips free radicals and stops you from overindulging. When you’ve finished dinner and crave a bag of cookies (which did not make the list), drink tea instead. Stick with herbals at night and save green tea for the morning.
8. Chicken is one of the most versatile meats on the planet. It’s good with mixed veggies, sweet potatoes, or dipped in a Wendy’s Frosty. (You didn’t read that.) An average chicken breast has 22g of protein. Popeye’s chicken doesn’t count, unless you remove the skin and steroids.
9. There is no #9.
10. Bell Peppers are an unlikely snack, I know. But the unexpected sweetness is delightful. Tame that oral fixation and enjoy a red, yellow, or orange bell pepper. Choose them for your next late night snack and go to bed satisfied and guilt-free (unless you’re cuddling a stranger).
Enjoy the foods on this list, exercise regularly, and live your best life.
