Tasty foods which include a mixture of lean proteins, high-fiber carbs, fruit and veggies boost metabolism to keep you burning calories.
Have a meal with a cup of green tea for an extra increase in metabolism. Frequent daily meals in smaller portions will also continue to keep the metabolism at increased rates. Remember, physical activity raises your base metabolic rate (BMR).
The Morning Meal
Consume a great morning meal with protein to boost your base metabolic rate at the beginning of your day. Try out an omelette with four egg whites with ½- 1 cup chopped peppers and onions along with a whole-grain English muffin. Or for a warming convenient meal blend two tablespoons raisins and one tablespoon chopped almonds into a dish of oatmeal.
Lunch Time
For a spike of energy, substitute big romaine leaves for taco shells with hot and spicy chicken breast taco filling. Sautee four ounces of chicken white meat sliced into strips with ½-1 cup cup thinly cut up peppers and onions. Include two tablespoons dry taco seasoning mixture and ½ cup water. Simmer until thickened.
Evening Meal
These supper dishes for a heightened metabolism are pretty straightforward to make.
Stir-fry a six to seven ounce can or pouch of Alaskan salmon and ½ pound of your preferred frozen vegetable blend in one tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat for three to five minutes.
Spice mixes like Cajun and Italian seasoning blends accentuate the diverse range of the meal. Additionally, you can alternate numerous proteins and vegetable blends for infinite meal choices.
For a tasty energy spike, make a crispy oven-baked fish fillet. In a food processor blend ½ cup dehydrated onion, two tablespoons whey proteins, one tablespoon flax seed meal, ½ teaspoon salt, one teaspoon paprika, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese along with a dash of cayenne.
Pulse for just one minute. Coat a four-ounce fish fillet with the mixture and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve up with a steamed broccoli-cauliflower-and-carrot combination.
Munchies
There are actually yummy munchies to boost metabolism and increase your base metabolism rate.
One is to spread a tablespoon of peanut butter on three to four celery pieces.
Eat fruit pieces with low-fat string cheese.
Mix ¾ cup frozen fruits, one cup plain yogurt, one tablespoon flax seed meal, 1/3 cup vanilla whey proteins and ½ cup skim milk for a stimulating smoothie.
Enjoy a between-meals-snack in the course of the morning hours and mid afternoon to sustain higher metabolic rates.
The key for increasing your metabolism is to use protein with every meal and every snack.
Use herbs to increase flavour such as cumin, thyme, rosemary, garlic, parsley and oregano. Herbs can also help boost metabolism.
