Combine Protein and Fiber

Tip 2:  Combine protein and fiber at every meal/snack.  

When eaten together, these foods take longer to digest and keep you fuller for longer periods.

  • Protein sources: lean meat, fish, lowfat cheese, unsweetened yogurt (loving the Greek Yogurt), beans, eggs, nuts, tofu.
  • Fiber sources: whole grain breads, cereals, pastas and fruits and vegetables
  • Another good reason to mix the protein and fiber is it keeps you balanced.   Protein tends to “wake you up” and fiber (carbohydrates) tend to be more relaxing.  If you find it difficult to get moving in the morning it’s  even more important to include the protein in your first meal of the day.
