In any meal, you should always aim to have a good balance of lean proteins and carbs. Proteins are king when it comes to losing weight. They help your body recover from exercise and repair muscle tissue, are very low in calories and won’t be converted into fat. Carbohydrates provide your body with energy. Good carbohydrate rich foods are fine and as long as you don’t consume them in high amounts they will assist you in weight loss. With that being said, here is what i have prepared for lunch: Stirfried green beans with tofu and chicken.
