Hi there!

Proteins: chicken breast, lean red meats, low fat cheese, turkey breast, fish, lean cuts of pork, soy, eggs/eggwhites

Carbs: whole wheat bread/pasta/couscous, quinoa, barley, sweet potatoes/yams, oatmeal, high fiber cereal, fruits, veggies

Fats: avacado, nuts/nut butter, coconut oil, flax, olive oil

You want to eat every 2-3 hours beginning as soon as you wake up and include a protein and carb in every meal. Save fruits for morning meals and stick to veggies and the protein in your afternoon meals.

The meal plan that Swanso has done up in the sticky is great for burning fat.

Hope this helps.

Cassie

Just as a side note, Soy has some decent levels of Fat and Carbs, and Low Fat Cheese, Cashews and Avocados, are a decent Carb source, so remember to factor that into food choices.
