A group of foods are being praised for their high protein content or fibrous quality - and they could help with weight loss.

High protein diets can help to boost metabolism, reduce appetite, and positively affect hormones, that in turn regulate weight.
With spring in full swing you may be thinking about shedding a few pounds before summer arrives. These everyday foods can be incorporated into your daily meal times, making an easy way to aid with the quest for a slimmer looking body. Chicken breast is one of the suggested foods - because it is a lean cut and mainly composed of protein.
For many, chicken is a favourite as it’s highly adaptable for lunch or dinner. Typically, a 100-gram serving contains 31 grams of protein and it’s also low in fat - it’s a good protein for building muscle. Cottage cheese is another useful go-to food in the quest to lose weight, it is a healthier option than standard cheese by far.
As well as being tasty in a jacket potato or sandwich, it provides a good source of calcium, which helps promote metabolism and weight loss.

These pulses are also high in fibre which aids digestion and a portion of lentils keeps you feeling full for longer. They can be.
