“I used to get overwhelmed with what to eat to lose weight. Once I learned no single food causes weight gain, I learned to find things I like, that meet my body’s needs and eat them on repeat. I truly love these foods and they’re weekly staples. I include carbs, fats, and I prioritise protein,” read her caption.

1. Eggs and egg whites mixed:

Have it every day for breakfast to get that protein in early. It is also versatile as a side or on a wrap, bagel thin, or toast.

2. Bread:

Eat it as toast for breakfast or a sandwich for lunch daily. Bread can be part of fat loss.

3. Greek yoghurt:

You can have it as a snack with granola or protein cereal and berries.

4. Berries:

Have it in addition to snacks or with lunch.

5. Ground turkey:

It is extremely versatile; mix it with pasta sauce, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, and taco seasoning.

6. Rotisserie chicken:

It’s so easy and protein-packed! Use it in salads, for wraps, for easy chicken salad, and to add to pasta or rice dishes for dinner. Keep it simple with premade proteins.

7. Potatoes:

A staple for a side. Microwave them for ease. Potatoes are considered one of the most filling foods and can help weight loss efforts. Potatoes are actually a great carb source. Also read | Weight loss coach who dropped 9 kilos, shares 4 restaurant mistakes to avoid: Don’t start with a cocktail

8. Peanut butter:

A go-to fat source. Put it on apples, add it to your oatmeal, yoghurt or smear it on chocolate rice cakes.

9. 100-calorie nut packs:

Another great fat source, but nuts can be easy to overeat, so the 100-calorie packs are a staple.
