Eggs
Cheryl Forberg, RD, and the editors of Eat This, Not That! share some of the best foods for weight loss, which includes sources of protein. Cheryl says that eggs are an excellent source of protein, and they also contain belly-fat-incinerating choline. However, like any food, you should eat eggs in moderation since they are high in fat and calories.
An additional Eat This, Not That! tip reveals that you should try to find eggs that have omega-3s.
