Low-Carb Foods to Get
- Skinless poultry such as chicken or turkey that is prepared with a low-fat cooking method like stewing, roasting or boiling.
- Soy products such as tofu and soy milk are high in protein, yet low in fat.
- Seafood including squids, prawns, salmon, tuna and sea bass.
- Fruits and vegetables are high in essential vitamins and minerals, plus they're rich in fiber which helps you stay full longer. They must be fresh, though! Processed, dried, canned and preserved ones don't count.
- Dairy products such as milk and cheese are rich in protein. To eliminate fat, just consume the low-fat versions: Skimmed milk and reduced-fat cheese.
- Protein shakes. When making your own milk shake, substitute whole milk with protein shakes.
- Egg whites. Eggs are a complete source of protein: One egg white has about 3.6 grams of protein, while the yolk has about 2.9 grams. However, because the yolk also contains fats and cholesterol, it's a good idea to use more egg whites (and less yolks) in your cooking.
- Sugar substitutes. If you're a sugar fiend, try sugar-free sweets instead of regular candies. For sweetening your coffee or tea, artificial sweeteners contain much less calories than sugar.
