Adding some of the best high-protein low-calorie foods to your basket can make all the difference when you're trying to lose weight healthily. From staying full past lunchtime to maintaining muscle in a calorie deficit, there are so many benefits. 

Losing weight is mainly about eating fewer calories than you burn every day. It's otherwise known as an energy or calorie deficit, and although it gets a little bit more complicated than this down the line, it's often the best place for most people to start. Foods that are higher in protein and lower in calories are hugely beneficial for this as they work to keep us fuller for longer while keeping our daily calorie count low, meaning we're less likely to snack and pull ourselves out of the deficit.
