- Be mindful of your portion sizes. Foods like avocado, salmon, and nuts are chock-full of important nutrients, but they’re also pretty packed with calories. Being mindful of and sticking to proper portion sizes when eating meals can help keep you on track with your weight loss goals.
- Incorporate non-starchy veggies into your dinners. Non-starchy vegetables include artichokes, asparagus, beets, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, eggplant, green beans, leeks, peppers, zucchini, tomato, and more. Fresh veggies don’t come with a high calorie count, and many of them contain satiating fiber that’ll keep you fuller longer. This may help you consume fewer calories in the long term.
