Protein Always combine low-glycemic carbohydrates with protein at each of your meals and snacks. Protein is the best nutrient to make you feel more satiated and less hungry until your next meal, and it also contributes to raising your metabolism, according to a 2004 review article published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition. The most concentrated sources of protein is found in animal foods, such as chicken, beef, fish, shrimp and eggs. Dairy products, like cheese and yogurt, as well as tofu, beans and lentils also provide some protein. Combine a few eggs with spinach and a handful of berries for breakfast, and have at least 3 to 4 ounces of chicken stir-fried with onions, mushrooms and broccoli for lunch. Combining low-glycemic carbohydrates and protein will keep your blood sugar levels stable and rev up your metabolism.
