My apologies this blog post comes almost after a week but i had to make sure i come up with an informative article. Im sure every one is in that frame of mind now that new year celebrations are over to get back on the fitness track.. Everyone has over done on food,Alcohol,desserts and now the 2nd week of jan people want to lose the weight they have gained.What better way to start with your fridge.You will eat what you will stock in your fridge so begin with these healthy snack options.Not only are they low in calories but are Highly nutritious.
Skim Milk
Switching from whole to skim milk is the best way to accquire essential dairy nutrients and cut down on your intake of saturated fat and cholesterol. Skim milk has lower than 0.5% milk fat and is generally labeled as “fat free.” Though the de-fatting process also removes the fat-soluble vitamins from the milk, the lost of nutrients is made up through food fortification. Therefore skim milk is equivalent to whole milk on every nutritionally aspect other than its total calories, fat and cholesterol contents, making it an ideal dietary choice for cardiovascular health and weight management.Skim milk has an equally high amount of proteins as regular milk. An average cup of skim milk contains about 8.7 grams of proteins which is 17% of your recommending daily intake. Higher-end brands of skim milk are fortified with high protein powder, increasing its protein content to as much as 12 grams per serving.
Eggs-Egg whites are popular, because they are a convenient and economical way to add protein to your diet. As a very low-calorie, readily absorbed source of protein, egg whites also fit well into a weight-loss diet. Protein is particularly crucial during weight loss, because it provides the building blocks to repair and rebuild muscle tissue, which can be lost during calorie restriction.
While choosing straight-up egg whites does lower the omelet's calorie, fat, and cholesterol content, it also makes the meal void of vitamins B2, B12, D, and iron. If you're concerned about getting enough of those nutrients, a good option would be to eat an omelet made of one whole egg and two egg whites. It's still low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, but you'll get some vitamins from the egg yolk.
