Most people don't know how to add foods that burn fat and help you lose weight in their weight loss meal plans. In this article I will outline some of the best foods that will help you burn calories and lose weight at the same time. Another reason these are great is because they can actually fill you up.

Eggs: Eggs contain B12 which is important in the breaking down and burning of fat. If you are worried about the cholesterol you can remove the yolk from some of the eggs that you eat.

Beans: Beans are a great source of fiber and protein. Avoid refried beans and baked beans because of saturated fat and sugars.

Oatmeal: Oatmeal is my favorite meal for breakfast. Although plain it is pretty bland you can add so many things to it that are not only healthy but make it taste awesome.

Oatmeal has soluble fiber which reduces cholesterol. IF, and that's a big IF, you can eat your oatmeal unsweetened or unflavored then more power to you. Go for it. But if your like most people and need some flavor add some blueberries or strawberries NOT sugar.

Olive Oil: Although olive oil isn't exactly a food that you eat it's health properties are so important that it should be mentioned. And it helps fight cholesterol and burn fat.

Olive oil is rich in the good fats - monounsaturated. An ounce of extra virgin olive oil has eighty five percent of the daily value for the good fats.

Whole Grains: Processed carbs such as white bread, pasta and white rice are to be avoided. But whole grains have not been processed and contain lots of the fiber and nutrients you need.

Lean Cuts of Meat: Salmon, tuna and lean cuts of beef such as those found in loin or round cuts of meat. Avoid meats that are processed or have lots of additives and preservatives.

When you are constructing your eating diet plan to lose weight make sure you include these foods in your eating plan. Remember to slow your eating and only eat till 80% full.

Although these foods to burn fat and lose weight are important to include in your diet its not the whole puzzle. If you don't have the money for a nutritionist or diet program to plan out your meals perfectly and teach you how to eat exactly it may come down to a lot of trial and error.
