I get asked many questions about food… what to eat, when, etc.
Usually, my answer is that you can’t go wrong with whole “real” foods — those that don’t come from a manufacturer and don’t have a long list of ingredients.
But some foods can give you an extra “edge” regarding specific goals…
Like this list of foods that can help you boost your metabolism!
How many of these do you eat (or drink) regularly?
5 Metabolism-Boosting Superfoods
Lean Meat (turkey, bison, chicken): Protein-rich meat helps you build and maintain muscle, and it can boost your metabolic rate by 15–30% because it takes your body more work to digest it.
Fish and seafood, Yes, fish and seafood are packed with protein that gives them all the benefits of lean meat — but they also contain key nutrients that support your thyroid! Your thyroid plays a huge role in your metabolism.
Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc.)Legumes are a great plant-based source of protein. They also contain resistant starch, a unique prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut. These bacteria create short-chain fatty acids that can help your body use stored fat for energy.
Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, pepitas, chia seeds, etc.)Even though they’re small, nuts and seeds are loaded with metabolism-boosting goodness: protein, healthy fats, fiber, essential nutrients, and antioxidants. Just remember, a serving = the size of your thumb.
Coffee and TeaThe caffeine in both of these beverages temporarily raises your metabolic rate, which may also help your body burn fat. Plus, tea contains catechins, a compound that teams up with caffeine to boost your metabolism further. Extra credit: oolong and matcha green tea may contain unique fat-burning compounds and help burn additional calories during workouts.
Remember: it’s not about aiming for a “perfect” diet, but about making healthy choices that support your goals AND your lifestyle!
