It also offers long-lasting energy release, and this is important when attending the gym or you have an eventful afternoon full of meetings.

1. Get Your Proteins and Veggies Ready
As your water is boiling, cut some lean protein such as paneer or tofu and take a handful of frozen peas and carrots. Vegetables with a high fiber content are known to add volume to the meal without dense calories.
