Pork—The option for your salad, fajitas…anything, is usually chicken or steak. But Pork should definitely be on there. It’s another great source of lean protein and the more protein you consume, the more energy your body expends trying to digest it. But this isn’t an excuse to run to your favorite barbeque spot. Try grilled, lean pork chops seasoned with herbs and other spices.
Salmon—a healthier barbeque alternative, salmon tastes great off the grill. Salmon also contains those famous Omega-3’s everyone is talking about, that can not only improve brain function and give you healthier skin, but also boost your body’s calorie-burning rate.
Lean Beef—Your body burns more calories digesting protein than it does digesting carbs or fat. If you’re making steak, be sure to cut away the fatty areas before cooking. For burgers, shell out a few extra bucks for ground sirloin rather than the usual ground chuck.
Habanero peppers—These are great sautéed with salmon or beef. I know we’re getting into very heated territory, but if you can take it, you could burn up to 1,000 more calories a day! That’s what happened to men who consumed this hot stuff as a snack in one study.
