5 Fat-Burning Breakfasts Top Trainer Swears By for Weight Loss

Are you on the hunt for breakfast ideas to fuel your fat loss? Jac Stern is a diet and fitness influencer studying to be a CPT who regularly shares her weight loss hacks. In a new post, she reveals a few recipes she relies on to get her day started on a fat-burning note. "5 breakfasts I'd eat on repeat if I were trying to drop body fat," she writes, adding that they are all under 400 calories with 30-60g of protein. "All perfect for shedding fat & building lean muscle," she says.

"Protein is literally the 'cheat code' for building lean muscle and losing fat… it keeps you full, helps with muscle recovery, and boosts metabolism," she writes in the post. "Plus, hitting your protein goal makes such a difference in looking toned vs. just losing weight and feeling 'soft skinny.'"

"These meals are PACKED with protein, balanced with carbs + healthy fats, and actually taste good (because eating healthy ≠ boring). fuel your body the right way and watch your excess body fat melt away," she says.
