Khaberni - The precise counting of calories and the tiresome measuring of food portions are among the biggest challenges in the weight loss journey.
However, nutrition experts have provided a smart solution which involves a selection of foods that combine satiety and nutritional value with low calories, allowing for reasonable consumption without negatively affecting weight.
This classification of foods comes as a result of extensive scientific analysis conducted by the "Gravity Transformation" platform, specializing in metabolic research and weight loss.
Here are nine foods that won't cause weight gain, no matter how much you consume:
Eggs
Eggs are exceptionally high in protein content, making them very filling. Additionally, protein helps speed up metabolism. This means that "not all the calories from eggs are absorbed because a large part of them is burned during the digestion process," as fat loss experts explain.
Salmon
Experts advise against farmed salmon, as it contains much higher fat than its wild counterpart. Fat loss experts note that wild salmon is really excellent for weight management because it is "rich in protein, very filling, and contains half the fat found in farmed salmon."
Salsa
Salsa is a cold dip/sauce of Mexican origin, primarily made from chopped fresh tomatoes, onions, peppers, cilantro, and lime, with spices such as cumin and salt added.
According to "Healthline", a typical serving size of salsa is about two tablespoons and contains, on average, less than 10 calories. Thus, you can add it in large amounts to your favorite dishes without worrying about portion control. Also, the hot peppers containing capsaicin can increase your body's fat burning ability, aiding in weight loss.
Pickles
Pickles are great to eat in large amounts because they are naturally low in fat and calories, making them a smart choice for anyone monitoring their intake. They also provide small but valuable amounts of essential vitamins and minerals. However, health experts caution that they are high in sodium.
Health experts advise: "If you are someone who does not consume a lot of processed foods or fast meals or store-bought foods, or if you follow a very low-salt diet, then consuming pickles daily may be acceptable."
Chicken Breast
Chicken is a primary source of lean protein, offering a high protein content per serving while remaining low in fat, making it a staple in many healthy diets. According to "Healthline": "A 100-gram serving of chicken breast provides 165 calories, 31 grams of protein, and 3.6 grams of fat. This means that about 80% of the calories in chicken breast come from protein, and 20% come from fats."
Watermelon
According to "Healthline": "Watermelon is mostly made up of water (91%) and carbohydrates (7.6%). It does not provide protein or fat and is very low in calories". According to experts, 100 grams of watermelon has only 30 calories.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms appear on the list of foods you can eat without gaining weight. This is due to their low calorie count, while being rich in vitamins and nutrients.
Bell Peppers
Just like mushrooms, bell peppers are low in calories but packed with nutrients that support metabolism and the immune system. According to nutrition experts, a medium-sized bell pepper, about 120 grams, contains only 30 to 40 calories.
Experts say: "Bell peppers, thanks to their fiber and water content, help enhance satiety - the feeling of fullness after eating. They increase the volume of meals without significantly increasing the calories, making them ideal for large, low-calorie dishes."
Popcorn
Popcorn is surprisingly low in calories as a snack. Not only does popcorn provide fiber, but it also contains antioxidants that support blood circulation and aid digestion. However, the American Heart Association warns: "Popcorn in the cinema is completely different from home-made popcorn, as a bowl of cinema popcorn can contain up to 1090 calories and 2650 mg of sodium". They added: "When prepared with air and lightly seasoned, popcorn is an efficiently healthy snack."
