Not surprisingly, most trainers said they pay closer attention to the nutrient breakdown of their meal rather than simply counting calories. Consuming quality proteins, healthy fats, fiber and antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables was viewed as an essential way to support the body in losing body fat and increasing muscle mass versus drastically reducing calories to unsustainable levels.
While several foods like broccoli, coconut oil and kefir make great honorable mentions, the following 7 foods were very popular with Personal Trainers:
1. Organic Kale
2. Dark Chocolate
3. Organic Blueberries
4. Quality Proteins
