Hi, there!
With respect to ‘fat burning foods,’ there are three key ideas about nutrition to understand. Namely, the ‘thermic effect’ of food, how to boost your metabolic rate, and the order of macronutrients your body prefers to use.
The three macronutrients of food are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. However, the caloric cost for your body to use them significantly differs.
In relation to the thermic effect of food, refined (processed) carbohydrates and fats have about a 3% rate, which means that it requires only about 3 calories for your body to use (burn) 100 calories of refined carbohydrates and fats. By that, they are not considered fat burning foods.
Some natural (unprocessed) carbohydrates have about a 20% rate.
Proteins, however, have up to a 30% rate! So, they are considered the best fat burning foods.
Moreover, some proteins are even better than others are. We can call those super-charged proteins!
So, in terms of its thermic effect, protein has twice the power because your body must work harder to process proteins than to process either fats or carbs. (Drinking plenty of water helps your body do this.)
So, eating specific proteins can significantly rev up your metabolism and they are considered the best fat burning foods.
At the bottom of this reply, I have added links to free Internet resources for a list of fat burning foods that speed up metabolism, a list of foods that slow down metabolism, and the feeding frequency in relation to fat burning foods.
I hope this helps you.
All my best wishes.
