How Eating Lean Meats Helps You Get a Lean Body

By Brandi Swieter

Look at many diet plans and on them you’ll see lean meat options. While many people enjoy things like steak and corned beef, these choices are high in fat and calories and should not be consumed on a regular basis. For a healthier meal plan and leaner body, lean meat is the way to go.

Fewer Calories

Many meats contain high calories and a lot of fat. People who want to watch their weight should be consuming less calories than normal, making these choices less than ideal for their diet. Lean meat options contain far fewer calories and less fat. They work well for people who are dieting and trying to watch their caloric intake.

Packed in Protein

Lean meats are packed full of protein. Not only does protein help the body repair tissues, but it also helps people feel full for longer. It satisfies hunger so individuals trying to get a lean body do not end up overeating and packing on the pounds instead. It also works to boost the metabolism so calories that do get consumed get burned off faster. Since protein is the building block of everything, it is needed to build muscles. Workouts will be much more efficient, resulting in lean muscles throughout the body which also ensure faster calorie burning.

Digestion and Calorie Burning

Digestion causes the body to burn calories as well. Protein has a high thermal effect in food. It burns far more calories during the digestive process than carbohydrates or fat. Consuming more protein throughout the day means the digestive system will be working efficiently to turn necessary calories into fuel for the body that can be used during exercise and other daily activities.

Various Vitamins

Vitamins are essential for the body, with versions of B vitamins important for weight loss. Vitamins B3 and B6 assist with carb conversion. It helps the body turn carbohydrates into glucose. This version of glucose is necessary for the body because it replenishes blood sugar levels when they become too low. Cells rely on glucose for energy. Without any, the body could not function efficiently.

Enjoy more lean meats in your diet if you want a lean body. These lower calorie meat choices bring along many benefits, including extra protein and nutrients with less fat. Choose between items like roast beef, pork tenderloin, turkey, chicken, and even buffalo for the healthiest meat options.
