Are you dealing with unwanted weight gain and increasingly low energy with the passing years? “Your metabolism changes as you get older,” says the National Institutes of Health. “You burn fewer calories and break down foods differently. You also lose lean muscle. Unless you exercise more and adjust your diet, the pounds can add up. Middle-age spread can quickly become middle-age sprawl.” This doesn’t have to be an inevitable part of aging—here are ten daily rituals that can help boost metabolism and encourage weight loss after 50.


Weights Are Your Friend

Hit the weight section of the gym, or use equipment at home to build strength and muscle. “Muscle is more metabolically active — it burns more calories than fat,” William Yancy Jr, MD, tells AARP. “So having a higher ratio of muscle to fat will mean you burn more energy — just while sitting. To build that muscle, you have to exercise, and that burns calories, too.”​

Calorie Deficit

Make sure you’re getting the correct amount of calories a day. “At age 50, you need 200 fewer calories a day than you did when you were 20, assuming you are equally active,” Stacy Weiss, MD, tells Northwest Community Healthcare. “After age 60, you need 400-500 calories less. If you’re moderately active, up to age 50, around 2,000 calories a day is good. After 50, you need to decrease to 1,800 calories.”

Move Throughout the Day

The couch potato lifestyle is terrible for your metabolism, so make a point of sitting as little as possible. Maybe start a habit where you walk before breakfast every day. “At some point, everyone loses muscle mass as they get older and gains abdominal fat,” aging and exercise expert Dr. Mark Mattson tells the NIH. “Over-eating and leading a sedentary lifestyle can speed up age-related changes in metabolism.”

Don’t Ignore Sleep Health

Sleep is crucial for a healthy metabolism and to encourage fat-burning. Try bedtime rituals such as a warm bath, reading a book, or meditation. Make a point of going to bed and waking up as much as possible at the same time.

Happy Hour Habits

If daily happy hour has become a habit, replace it with a more healthy ritual a few times a week. Try tea or sparkling water. “Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicate that approximately 20 percent of adults aged 60-64 and around 10 percent over age 65 report current binge drinking,” says the National Institutes of Health.

Daily Hydration

Make a point of drinking water first thing in the morning to start your day hydrated. “Proper hydration is essential for many bodily functions, including moving nutrients throughout the body, lubricating joints, and maintaining blood pressure,” Vanessa Ling, ND, CNS, writes for the National Council on Aging. “Some evidence suggests that drinking water before a meal can curb your appetite to help with portion control.”

Phone a Friend

Reach out to friends and loved ones every day to get support and encouragement. “Surround yourself with friends and loved ones who support your efforts to eat a healthy diet and increase your physical activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Better yet, team up and make the lifestyle changes together.”

Fun Hobbies

Make time every day for an active hobby you genuinely enjoy. “Find time to take care of yourself. Activities that you enjoy doing can help you get exercise,” says the Mayo Clinic. “This can include gardening, yoga or other active hobbies.”

Protein With Every Meal

Including protein with every meal can help with fat-burning and weight loss. “As you age, you require more protein to build or maintain muscle,” registered dietician Alex Oskian tells the National Council on Aging. “A good rule of thumb is to include a protein food (animal or plant-based source of protein) at all meals and snacks.”

Small, Consistent Changes

Keeping up with these rituals can transform your life and health. “You’re not just losing pounds—you’re gaining life,” family medicine physician Phyllis Pobee, MD, tells the National Council on Aging. “Focus on sustainable changes that celebrate your body. Small, consistent tweaks over time can lead to remarkable transformations.”

Losing weight after 50 can be challenging, but it’s certainly not impossible. “Not all people over 50 will experience the same degree of difficulty with weight loss as genes determine 40 to 70 percent of what your weight is at a given time,” Holly Lofton, MD, director of the NYU Langone Medical Weight Management Program in New York City, tells AARP. Here’s how to kickstart an effective over-50 weight loss program in just two weeks.


Lift Weights

Lifting weights helps burn fat even when you’re not exercising. “Muscle is more metabolically active — it burns more calories than fat,” William Yancy Jr., MD, director of the Duke Lifestyle and Weight Management Center in Durham, North Carolina, tells AARP. “So having a higher ratio of muscle to fat will mean you burn more energy — just while sitting. To build that muscle, you have to exercise, and that burns calories, too.”​

Be Mindful of Drinking

Alcohol can be kryptonite to any weight-loss regimen—but lowering intake or abstaining completely can help accelerate weight loss. “Across the board, for people who are trying to lose some weight, cutting out empty calories is a good place to start,” Leslie Heinberg, PhD, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Oftentimes, beverages are a big source of empty calories — whether it’s soda, juice, sweet tea, beer, wine or cocktails. Any of those things add calories, but really without nutrition and without the sense of feeling full.”

Calories Count

Calories count, so make an effort to track how much you are consuming. “First, multiply your current weight by 15 — that's roughly the number of calories per pound of body weight needed to maintain your current weight if you are moderately active,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “For example, to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week — a rate that experts consider safe — your food consumption should provide 500 to 1,000 calories less than your total weight-maintenance calories.” Don’t go too far, though: women should eat at least 1,200 calories a day, and men should eat at least 1,500.

Ditch the Sugar

Want to lose weight quickly? Ditch the added sugars, experts warn. Not all foods containing sugars are the same,” dietitian Victoria Taylor tells the British Heart Foundation. “Fruit or dairy products contain natural sugars but are nutritious foods that contain vitamins, minerals and in some cases fiber. What we need to cut down on are free sugars, which include added sugars, syrups, or juices. It’s recommended that we eat less than 30g (1 oz) of free sugars each day, but most of us are eating more than this.”

Aerobic Exercise and Active Hobbies

Getting your heart rate going is a great way to accelerate fat loss. “For most healthy adults, experts recommend moderate aerobic activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “This includes brisk walking for at least 150 to 200 minutes a week or vigorous aerobic activity, such as jogging, for at least 75 minutes a week. Find time to take care of yourself. Activities that you enjoy doing can help you get exercise. This can include gardening, yoga or other active hobbies.”

Michaela Bentley Fitness
Trainer, 58, Lost 15 Pounds and Blasted Belly Fat with These 4 Habits

Are you over 50 and struggling to lose weight? You might need to face some “hard truths” and make some changes to your routine, according to an expert. Michaela Bentley is a CPT & Nutrition coach. At the age of 58, she looks half her age! She maintains that she has a better grasp of diet and exercise than she did in her forties. In a recent post, she reveals the truth about losing weight after menopause. “At 59 here are my top tips to losing weight after 50,” she says, admitting they are “probably not what you think.”

There Are No Quick Fixes

“There are no quick fixes,” she writes. “The truth is I don’t have a magic wand and neither does any other fitness trainer. The results are up to you. So many people quit way too soon due to unrealistic expectations. It’s not your fault. The fitness industry is full of lies and half truths in order to get you to pull out your wallet. Real change takes time sometimes months and even years, depending on where you’re starting from. Get a program from a qualified source, be patient and stick with it.”

It’s Going to Be Hard

“It’s going to be hard,” she continues. “Big changes in life are hard won. Nothing worth doing is easy and losing weight is no different especially over 50. If you’re doing it right, it’s going to be hard, especially in the beginning while your body gets used to the feeling of getting out of your comfort zone. If you’re following a program that incorporates progressive overload, it’s probably never going to be easy, but I assure you if you stick with it, you will learn to love that feeling of being challenged.”

You Will Have to Make Lifestyle Changes

“It’s probably going to require a few lifestyle changes and you may not like them all,” she says. “I’ve had many clients say to me. I’m going to do the fitness part, but I don’t wanna change my lifestyle. I like having a drink in the evening and I don’t want to track my food. That’s great, but that’s not gonna get you results. If you really want big changes, you have to make big changes and that’s probably gonna mean changing some of your habits that are out of alignment with your goals and replace those with new healthy habits.”

Consistency Over Perfection

“Consistency is more important than perfection,” is her final tip. “You don’t have to be perfect, (god knows, I am not) but you do have to be consistent. Slow and steady wins the race. You can’t show up one day and then skip a bunch of days because you’re not feeling it. You need to show up every day in some form or another. If you do that, I promise you those results will come in time.”

She Also Started Strength Training

In another recent post, she revealed how she lost 15 pounds and got into the best shape later in life going “full ninja on belly fat.” The first thing that worked to blast belly fat was, unsurprisingly, strength training. “Lifting weights CONSISTENTLY with a plan that incorporates progressive overload. All this means is that you are added load and difficulty over time in order to avoid plateaus,” she writes.

She Also Started Moving “A Lot More”

She also started moving more, “a lot more,” she admits. “As a society we’ve become sedentary. Most of us spend a good majority of the day sitting at a desk. If we want to shake things up, metabolically we have to move more. Try adding intentional steps to your routine. Aim for at least 8000k-10000 a day.”

Food Journaling and Tracking

“Start a food journal and preferably track your food through tracking app,” she continued about habit number four. “Most of us have no clue exactly what we’re eating and in what quantities. I can’t tell you how many women tell me they eat under 1500 cal a day and then when we look at their food journal, they’re actually eating almost double that.”

Seeing a Doctor

“If you’re struggling with symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, see your doctor,” she says. “I had a truckload of symptoms that I had no idea were related to my declining hormones. Getting my hormones back into balance not only helped with the symptoms I was having but it helped me improve my sleep and general mood which in turn, helped me reduce stress and lose the weight.” And if you enjoyed this article, take advantage of these20 Superfoods for People Over 50.

We've consulted with our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians to bring you informed recommendations for food products, health aids and nutritional goods to safely and successfully guide you toward making better diet and nutrition choices. We strive to only recommend products that adhere to our philosophy of eating better while still enjoying what you eat.

Are you over 40 and eating the same foods you did at 30? You may need to add some metabolism boosters to your diet. “It's true that as we age, particularly after 40, our metabolism can naturally slow down. However, certain foods can support a healthy metabolism,” explains Heather Snead, Live Conscious Expert and Nutritionist. “It's important to remember that ‘boosting’ metabolism is often about supporting it through good nutrition, rather than a dramatic increase. Here are 10 foods she recommends to secretly boost metabolism over 40.

1. Lean Protein (Chicken, Tofu, Fish)

The first metabolism-boosting food on her list? Lean protein, like chicken, tofu, and fish. “Protein requires more energy to digest than fats or carbs, which can slightly increase calorie burn. It also helps preserve muscle mass, which is crucial for metabolism,” she explains.

2. Legumes (Lentils, Chickpeas, Beans)

Next up on her metabolism-revving food list? Legumes. “High in protein and fiber, legumes help stabilize blood sugar and promote satiety, aiding in healthy weight management,” she explains.

3. Greek Yogurt

Almost every health expert, including Snead, recommends Greek yogurt for weight loss. “Another excellent source of protein, Greek yogurt can help you feel full and support muscle maintenance,” she says.

4. Sweet Potato

Another veggie you should always have on hand if you are over 40? Sweet potatoes. “Sweet potatoes are a complex carbohydrate high in fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and provide sustained energy. They also contain nutrients that help with proper metabolic function,” Snead explains.

5. Green Tea

Consider using antioxidant-rich green tea over an energy drink if you need caffeine. “Contains compounds like catechins, which may slightly boost metabolism and fat oxidation,” Snead says.

6. Avocado

Avocado is another excellent choice for women over 40, Snead maintains. “Rich in healthy fats and fiber, avocado can help you feel full and satisfied,” she suggests.

7. Broccoli

Green veggies are great for your metabolism, especially broccoli. “A cruciferous vegetable high in fiber and nutrients, broccoli supports overall health and may aid in weight management,” Snead says.

8. Almonds

Need something to much on? Almonds are a great metabolism-boosting snack in moderation. “Provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber, contributing to satiety and stable blood sugar,” says Snead.

9. Spinach

Another great veggie for women over 40? Spinach. “Rich in iron, which is essential for oxygen transport and energy production,” says Snead. Throw it in your salad or smoothie, or cook it with garlic as a side dish.

10. Whole Grains (Oats, Quinoa)

Do you want to lose 10 pounds by the holidays? Jenn Markwardt is a fitness and nutrition coach and founder of Flourish Nutrition, whose goal is “helping you lose 20lbs in a stress-free way. In a recent social media post, she reveals how to drop weight fast by making a few simple tweaks to your routine. “Maybe it’s your energy, maybe it’s an extra 10-20lbs that came out of nowhere, especially around your middle, or maybe it’s exhaustion and brain fog you can’t get rid of,” she writes in the Instagram post. “Here are the three️ things I (and my clients) would avoid if I wanted to drop fat and get my energy back.”


Stop Eating Healthy and Start Eating with Intention

New York - January 9, 2020: MyFitnessPal application on a smartphone. MyFitnessPal is a mobileShutterstock

Her first tip? Stop eating “healthy” and start eating with intention. “Track your food for a week (not forever, and you’ll be amazed at what you learn. It’s not about eating as little as possible; it’s about understanding how to build your pants in a way that leaves you full and satiated and helps your body lose fat without restriction and hunger,” she writes in her post.

Get More Focused with Exercise

Next, “stop doing random workouts and only relying on cardio,” she says. “Muscle is the key to lighting up your metabolism and helping you actually keep your results! You should be training intentionally in a progressive overload style (building in weights or reps each week) to optimize your results!”

Don’t Do It Alone

And her third tip is to “stop trying to go it alone,” she says. “Listen, things change as we age, but you are not broken. It’s not impossible to see results, but you have to do things differently than you did in the past, and it’s a heck of a lot easier when you have the support and accountability of coaches and other women just like you.”

She Also Recommends These 5 Healthy Habits for Weight Loss

In another post, she reveals that one of her clients dropped a whopping 30 pounds over a period of six months, “and this was someone who has done literally every diet under the sun,” she says in the clip. “Here are the five habits we focused on to optimize her metabolism hormones and get her energy back so fat loss felt easy,” she adds in the post.

Walk 8,000 to 10,000 Steps Per Day

Man using daily activity tracking app on mobile phone showing 10 000 steps daily goal achievementShutterstock

The first habit is to get your steps in. She recommends “daily movement of 8-10k steps.” Why should you aim for 10,000 steps per day? A 2018 study published in the journal Obesity found a link between walking that amount and weight loss and weight management. Other studies published by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) in JAMA Neurology and in JAMA Internal Medicine also linked walking 10,000 steps a day to less dementia and less cardiovascular disease overall, with less heart disease, less heart failure, and fewer strokes.

Amp Up Your Protein Intake

Next, amp up your protein intake. “30g of protein at each meal for satiation and preserving and building muscle,” she writes. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

Also, Increase Fiber Intake

Also, she recommends amping up your fiber intake. “25g of fiber daily” is her suggestion. Why? “Fiber is key for balancing blood sugar and keeping you full, so you avoid mindless snacking,” she says.

Strength Train

In addition to getting your steps in, she recommends doing strength training to build muscle. Specifically, she suggests three 30-minute strength workouts a week “using our Flourish Fitness progressive overload program,” she writes. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Stress Management

Lastly, she stresses the importance of mental health. She explains that “stress management and finding and creating the time to prioritize” yourself is fundamental in getting in physical shape.

A Lot of Factors Impact Weight Loss

“And here’s why this works: your metabolism isn’t just ONE thing. There are a lot of factors, and your daily habits have the biggest impact on your metabolic health and hormones. You don’t have to do these things perfectly, but consistency (even on the weekends) matters for forever results,” she writes at the end of the post.

Struggling with weight loss can feel like an uphill battle, especially when diet and exercise alone aren't delivering the results you need. For many people, weight loss medications have become a game-changer in their health journey. Dr. Jennifer McCann, a Board-certified OB/GYN and Obesity Medicine specialist, has been helping women optimize their health for over 12 years through comprehensive care that addresses gynecology, hormonal balance, and weight management. Read on to discover her expert tips that could supercharge your results while on these increasingly popular medications.

What Are Weight Loss Injections?

These breakthrough treatments include medications like semaglutide (Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), explains Dr. McCann. While semaglutide has received FDA approval specifically for weight loss in certain individuals, tirzepatide is currently approved for type 2 diabetes treatment. Despite this distinction, Dr. McCann notes that both medications have demonstrated significant weight loss results, particularly beneficial for those with limited mobility who struggle with traditional exercise-based approaches.

How These Medications Work

The science behind these injections involves multiple mechanisms that work together to promote weight loss. "They inhibit glucagon release, which is what makes you hungry," Dr. McCann explains in her post. Additionally, these medications decrease glucose production from the liver, delay gastric emptying, and reduce appetite—all contributing to what can be substantial weight reduction. However, Dr. McCann cautions that they aren't suitable for everyone, particularly those with personal or family histories of thyroid cancer or certain endocrine conditions.

Consider Potential Side Effects

Before starting any weight loss medication, it's important to understand possible side effects. Dr. McCann reports that patients may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps when beginning treatment. "Most of these side effects go away or subside after taking these medicines for a few weeks, but they can be prolonged and sometimes they don't go away," says Dr. McCann. This realistic expectation setting helps patients prepare for their weight loss journey.

Tip #1: Eliminate All Sodas and Sugary Drinks

Making this critical lifestyle change while on weight loss injections can dramatically improve your results. Dr. McCann emphasizes the serious impact of sugary beverages: "Drinking one can of soda can make you gain 15 pounds over one year. One can a day, 15 pounds over one year." This warning extends beyond just sodas to include slushies, sweetened coffee drinks, and any beverage with significant sugar content. The good news? You don't have to give up caffeine—Dr. McCann suggests black coffee with stevia or sugar-free skinny lattes as satisfying alternatives.

Tip #2: Prioritize Lean Protein

When your appetite decreases due to the medication, making every calorie count becomes essential. "Protein increases your metabolism by increasing your muscle, and that again lets you burn more calories," Dr. McCann advises. Because these medications both reduce appetite and slow digestion, focusing on lean protein whenever you do eat helps maintain muscle mass—crucial for keeping your metabolism active. Without adequate protein intake, you risk losing muscle along with fat, potentially compromising your long-term results.

Tip #3: Commit to Regular Exercise

No weight loss strategy would be complete without physical activity, and Dr. McCann's approach is refreshingly accessible. For beginners without an existing exercise routine, she recommends just 20 minutes of high-intensity training four times weekly—nothing overwhelming but enough to make a difference. "Exercise is very important for weight loss, for keeping the weight off, for your cardiovascular health," explains Dr. McCann, adding that it also serves as a natural anxiety remedy by releasing cortisol. For those with physical limitations, she suggests consulting a personal trainer to develop appropriate muscle-maintaining activities.

Use Medications as a Starting Point for Lasting Change

The true value of weight loss injections lies in how you leverage their effects. Dr. McCann encourages patients to view these medications as catalysts rather than permanent solutions: "Use this weight loss boost to start your healthy living so that you can lose even more weight and be able to keep it off after you stop the injections." This mindset shifts the focus from temporary medical intervention to sustainable lifestyle transformation—ultimately the key to maintaining your hard-earned results.

Weight loss injections can provide impressive initial results, but your habits determine whether those results last. Dr. McCann emphasizes that the habits you develop while on medication—eliminating sugary drinks, prioritizing protein, and establishing regular exercise—create the foundation for lasting success. By implementing these practices now, you're not just maximizing your current weight loss; you're building the lifestyle that will help you maintain your healthier weight for years to come.

Struggling to hit your protein goals without resorting to bland chicken breast or chalky protein shakes? You're not alone. Dani Spies, health coach, weight loss expert, and creator of Clean & Delicious, understands this common frustration. "Focusing on real whole foods, specifically high-protein foods, especially when paired with fiber, can help you feel satiated and satisfied for longer periods throughout the day," says Dani. While no single food creates weight loss (you still need that energy deficit), these protein-packed options will make your weight loss journey far more enjoyable and sustainable. Discover these 12 delicious alternatives that will transform how you approach protein.

Cottage Cheese: The Versatile Protein Base

Cottage cheese deserves its spot at the top of any protein list with an impressive 14 grams per half cup. "I love cottage cheese. It is so delicious," Dani says in her post. Its creamy texture and neutral flavor make it perfect for both sweet and savory applications. You can spread it on toast, blend it into pasta dishes, create protein-packed pancakes, or even use it as the base for a pizza bowl. The versatility is endless, making cottage cheese a must-have protein staple for your fridge.

Canned Salmon: Budget-Friendly Omega-3 Powerhouse

Don't overlook this pantry hero that delivers 17 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving. "Canned salmon is a delicious, convenient, budget-friendly way to enjoy salmon without the price tag of fresh salmon fillets," explains Dani. Beyond protein, it's loaded with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids that support overall health. For maximum nutrition, opt for wild-caught varieties. Enjoy it straight from the can, whip up a quick salmon salad with onions and celery, or form it into salmon burgers for a protein-packed meal.

Tempeh: Plant-Based Protein with Texture

This fermented soybean product offers plant-based eaters a substantial 16 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving. "Think of it as tofu's heartier cousin," Dani describes. "It has more texture and even more protein." The nutty, earthy flavor and dense, chewy texture make tempeh distinctly satisfying. As a fermented food, it also supports gut health. Dani recommends slicing tempeh into slabs, marinating in soy sauce, garlic, and a touch of maple syrup, then pan-frying until golden for a simple, delicious protein option.

Lentils: Protein-Fiber Combo for Lasting Fullness

With 18 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber per cooked cup, lentils keep hunger at bay longer than most foods. "That combination of protein and fiber is fantastic for satiety," Dani points out. These versatile legumes come in various forms—dried, steamed, or canned—making them convenient for any kitchen. Toss them into salads for a protein boost, simmer them into hearty soups, or blend them into a high-protein alternative to traditional chickpea hummus. Their earthy flavor complements countless dishes while keeping you satisfied.

Chicken and Turkey Sausage: Lean Protein Made Convenient

Pre-cooked poultry sausages provide 12-14 grams of protein per link with significantly less fat than traditional pork varieties. "The nice thing about chicken and turkey sausage is that they tend to be much lower in fat," Dani explains. This balance helps you increase protein intake without adding excessive calories—crucial when managing your overall energy balance for weight loss. Keep these in your refrigerator for quick protein solutions on busy weeknights. Dani suggests slicing and browning them, then serving with fresh vegetables, fruits, and dips for a satisfying family meal that requires minimal preparation.

Greek Yogurt: Probiotic Protein for Sweet or Savory Dishes

Its versatility spans both sweet applications like overnight oats and chia pudding as well as savory uses. Swap mayo for Greek yogurt in tuna or egg salads to boost protein while reducing calories. "It's also delicious when you use it as the base for salad dressings," Dani shares. Her Greek yogurt blue cheese and creamy balsamic dressings prove how this protein source enhances flavors while supporting your nutrition goals.

It excels in turkey burgers, hearty chili, protein-rich bolognese sauce, and flavorful meatballs that can transform simple meals into satisfying feasts.

Hemp Seeds: Small Seeds, Big Protein Impact

Don't underestimate these tiny nutritional powerhouses that provide 10 grams of plant-based protein in just 3 tablespoons. "While I wouldn't use it as my core protein source for the day, it is a fantastic ingredient to keep on hand as a way to boost your protein intake over the entire day," Dani advises. Sprinkle these subtly nutty seeds over smoothies, yogurt bowls, oatmeal, or salads to incrementally increase your daily protein intake without changing your core meals. Their mild flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes.

Parmesan Cheese: Concentrated Flavor and Protein

This aged hard cheese contains 10 grams of protein per ounce along with calcium and distinctive savory flavor. "Parmesan is a hard-aged cheese that is packed with protein," Dani explains.

Eggs and Egg Whites: The Complete Protein Package

With 7 grams of protein per whole egg and 11-12 grams per half cup of whites, eggs remain a nutritional standout. "Eggs and egg whites are a fantastic, whole, high-protein food to work into your diet," Dani confirms. Keep hard-boiled eggs prepared for quick protein additions to meals and snacks throughout the week. Add them to cottage cheese toast, savory oatmeal, or transform them into egg salad. For lower-fat protein options, egg whites can boost the protein content of French toast, pancakes, oatmeal, or veggie-packed egg white muffins.

This game meat delivers 23 grams of protein with just 3 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving. "Ground venison is a super nutrient-dense source of protein," Dani shares. "It's much leaner than ground beef." Use it anywhere you'd typically use ground beef—tacos, burgers, chili, or meatballs. Dani notes that its leanness can make it slightly drier than beef, so cooking techniques may need slight adjustments. Check your store's freezer section if you don't find it with fresh meats. This alternative red meat offers variety when you're seeking something different in your protein rotation.

If you are a Costco member and trying to lose weight, one weight loss warrior has a list of the best foods to buy at the warehouse. Mayra Wendolyne of Low Carb Love lost over 100 pounds and has amassed millions of followers for her tips and tricks on how she did it. In a viral YouTube video, she reveals the top 9 low-carb, ready-to-eat meals at Costco.

Birria

“You cannot go wrong with Birria. Birria takes so long to cook. If you've ever tried to make it or you know someone that's made it, this is like an all day project. It's worth it, but this one here is already cooked, completely cooked, all you have to do is heat it up so you can toss this in the microwave, toss it in the oven, whatever the case,” she says. “You can make tacos, you can make quesadacos. There are so many different things that you can make with this or even serve it just in a bowl, top it with cilantro and onion and lime and you are set.”

Chicken Tinga

Another “low carb, weight loss friendly, diabetic friendly, and also very, very high in protein” meal is chicken tinga. “Chicken tinga is very easy to make, but sometimes when you're in a rush and you just want something made, this is something that you can serve with some cauli rice as side salad. You can also make a quesadilla. You can make a burrito. There are so many different things that you can make with this. And this is just, again, pop it in the microwave, pop it in the oven, stovetop, whatever, and it is good to go.”

Beef Kabobs

Moving on to “a little Middle Eastern, a little Mediterranean flair” she suggests beef kabobs. “These are super, super easy to throw together. You can make a wrap. You can obviously serve this with a side salad, a little tzatziki sauce, a little cucumber salad, there are so many things that you can do with this, but most importantly, these are low in calorie, high in protein, low in carbs. So another one for the win.”

Kevin’s Chimichurri Beef

Next up chimichurri beef. “I've actually never tried this one, but I do love all of Kevin's foods. He does a lot of pre-made stuff here at Costco. They're clean, they're paleo, low carb. He usually does a lot of things that you wouldn't typically find low carb, like broccoli beef, orange chicken. Like he does a lot of things that typically have like a very sugary sauce and he makes them low carbm” she says. “Again, pair this with a little cauli rice, a little side salad. It's so easy to make this. It's fully cooked. Again, just toss in the microwave.”

Organic Broccoli Chicken Cheddar Stuffed Breast

Nex up, an “organic broccoli chicken cheddar stuffed chicken breast,” she says. “This is also really awesome. Sometimes I feel like there are times where you want to have something that's healthy, you want to have something that tastes very like homemade. But this here is definitely something that to me feels like very light, very healthy,” she says, adding that it’s 23 grams of protein for five ounces. “That's amazing. Five net carbs. So again, super low carb, super high in protein, 210 calories. That's awesome.”

Fully Cooked Shrimp

“Okay, now this is more of like a snack. I'm going to be honest, I usually grab one of these to eat on my way home. Just some fully cooked shrimp, their little cocktail sauce, a little lemon. This is super, super delicious. I feel like it's super light. This is perfect for summer. A lot of times when I'm going to have people over, I usually grab a couple of these and then put them on the table like a whole charcuterie kind of like island. This is a great option. I wouldn't say it's so much like a full meal, but it's definitely something that you can have as a light lunch”

Caesar Salad

Her next recommendation is the Caesar salad. “it is so delicious. The only thing I do is obviously take out the croutons. One, because of the carbs, two, because of the gluten, it just really messes with my stomach. But other than that, this is another great option. Even if you grab that chicken, the chicken breast that I just showed you.”

Ready-to-Eat Poke

Spicy Ahi Poke

The next item is ready-to-eat-poke. “They have the spicy ahi poke and then just the ahi wasabi poke. And this is another just super easy meal,” she says. “This will be good just all by itself. Super quick lunch, super quick dinner. I think if you wanted to make it more of a hearty meal, you can obviously pair this with rice or even like a cauli rice.

Egg Bites

\u200bKirkland Signature Sous Vide Egg Bites​Kirkland Signature Sous Vide Egg BitesCopyright Costco

And for breakfast, she recommends Costco egg white bites. “If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I was literally obsessed with the Starbucks egg white bites. These are $5 a pop.

So this is obviously a much better deal. These are fully cooked, toss them in the microwave. I personally like to toss them in the air fryer because I'd like to get a little bit of a crisp, huh? 11 grams of protein. Only 150 calories,” she says. “Super, super low in calories, decent protein. This one here is 17 grams of protein and 280.” And if you enjoyed this article, take advantage of these 15 Quick Ways to Lose Body Fat Percentage in a Week.
