Eat This for Energy



If you need more energy remember fat should be your fuel! Load up on healthy fats to fuel your brain and body instead of sugar and carbs. Healthy fats help your body burn fat, build muscle, curb cravings for junk foods, aid in mineral absorption, function as carriers for fat-soluble vitamins, and provide building blocks for cell membranes and hormones.  

My top picks: 

Avocados
Raw nuts/seeds (specifically almonds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans, or walnuts)
A spoonful of MCT or organic coconut oil 
Local, organic eggs 
Nut butters or tahini 
Wild-caught salmon
