Top 10 Breakfast Foods to Burn Fat You Should Eat Every Day, According to a Top Bodybuilder

You can eat your way to fat loss if you choose the right food. Certified fitness trainer Jason Kozma, aka Mr. America and Mr. Muscle Beach, is a champion bodybuilder who trains clients at Santa Monica-based High Performance Personal Training. He is a pro at eating to burn fat and build muscle, and recently talked about breakfast food with Body Network. "Here are ten breakfast foods that can help boost fat burning and metabolism when included in a healthy diet with regular, consistent, and intense exercise," he says.

Whole Eggs

The first food he recommends are whole eggs, as in the yolk and the white. "High in protein, eggs increase feelings of fullness and boost metabolism through the thermic effect of food," says Kozma.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is another must-eat in the morning, per Kozma. "Rich in protein and probiotics, it supports muscle growth and gut health, both of which are essential for fat loss," he says.

Avocado

Kozma is a big fan of avocado for breakfast. "Full of healthy fats and fiber, avocados can keep you satisfied and help reduce belly fat," he says.

Oatmeal

Fill up on oatmeal, Kozma recommends. "A great source of complex carbs and fiber, oatmeal provides long-lasting energy and supports fat burning by stabilizing blood sugar levels," he explains.

Berries

He also suggests adding berries to your meal, including blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. "Low in calories and high in antioxidants, berries are excellent for reducing inflammation and promoting fat loss," he says.

Green Tea

As for a drink, try green tea. "It contains caffeine and catechins, which can enhance fat burning and improve metabolic rate," he says.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are perfect for sprinkling in your oatmeal, Greek yogurt, or smoothie. "They are high in fiber, omega-3s, and protein, chia seeds promote fullness and support fat metabolism," he says.

Cottage Cheese

Another excellent breakfast staple is cottage cheese. "Packed with protein and low in fat, cottage cheese can keep you satisfied and prevent overeating later in the day," he says.

Nuts

Eat nuts – including almonds and walnuts – in the morning. "They are full of healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Nuts can aid in weight management and reduce cravings," he explains.
