Protein fools the brain into thinking you’ve eaten more than you have! Do you know that by boosting your protein intake from the typical 15% of total calories to 30% you may be able to cut your daily calorie intake by 440—enough to lose almost a pound a week without hunger!

So for breakfast, use skim milk instead of water in your oatmeal and sprinkle nuts on top. A veggie omelet with one whole egg and 2-3 egg whites is a perfect protein booster. Also eat plenty of beans, fish and skinless chicken breasts.

For pure protein the Thin&Healthy supplements are a great choice. Each packet contains 15 grams of protein, less than 4 grams of fat and less than 100 calories depending upon the flavors you choose.
