The salmon provides you with enough Omega-3 fatty acids and also packed with protein, B vitamins and 100% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

Sweet potato is a good weekday alternative to potatoes, and the broccoli will add an extra boost to your Vitamin C count.

For an added bonus, cook the salmon in coconut oil, which further helps your body to burn calories.

Here’s the list of what’s on the plate:

• Salmon cooked in coconut oil
• Roasted sweet potato
• Carrots
• Steamed broccoli

When eaten at lunch time, this will power you through the rest of your day. If you eat it later on, just don’t eat it too late!

1/ Eating 4-5 ounces of salmon twice per week provides you with enough Omega-3 fatty acids for the entire week. Salmon is also packed with protein, B vitamins and 100% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

2/ Coconut oil has a thermic effect similar to protein. Just eating it helps your body burn more calories!

3/ Antioxidant rich Green Tea not only wards off disease, but people who consume three or more cups daily have been shown to have higher metabolic rates over time.

4/ Walnuts are rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, fibre and protein.

5/ Raw vegetables are nutrient-dense but low in total calories.

6/ The scent of peppermint can have appetite-reducing properties, so take a big whiff of a hot cup of peppermint tea when you crave dessert!

7/ Dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content has been linked to reduced heart disease risk and even lower body fat numbers in people who nibble on it more often. The polyphenol antioxidants in chocolate may favourably influence metabolism.
