Blueberries are the perfect example of the best berries for you to consume because they contain no fat and they are also packed full of fibre, antioxidants and Vitamin C. When choosing meats, lean cuts such as chicken and fish are full of protein and are low in carbohydrates.
Tuna contains much-needed fatty acids which your body needs to burn fat. Whole grains are what are known as good for your carbohydrates and are packed full of fibre. Overall, natural peanut butter is the peanut butter to go with. It is rich in fatty acids which your body needs and full of protein.
