I'm interested, is there anything that I can eat that would be endothermic when digested? Preferably that also wouldn't kill me were I to eat it.
Thank you Jim, thread closed.jim mcnamara said:IMO, this is an old wives tale - in other words largely not close to factual. Foods are defined as a source of nutrition. Non-nutritive "food" makes very little sense. You are asking: is there some food I can eat that uses more calories to process (digest) than the food provides. Short answer: no.
Water, crushed ice does what you want - provides no energy. And DO NOT believe the garbage out there on the internet - miracle foods and super foods do not exist. Really.
Eating less than 600 kCal of food daily, except under medical supervision, is a great way to get in serious medical trouble. Ask your physician for guidance, we do not provide that here.
A better answer - increase your level of activity. By a large factor. Burn more calories than you consume. How do you do that - ask a health professional, not us.
Some healthy options for a quick meal include salads, wraps, smoothies, and grilled chicken or fish. These options are typically lower in calories and packed with nutrients.
Vegetarian options include dishes such as veggie stir-fry, lentil soup, vegetable curry, or roasted vegetables. These meals are rich in plant-based protein and fiber.
To make a filling and nutritious meal, try incorporating a balance of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. For example, a quinoa and vegetable stir-fry with grilled chicken or tofu and avocado makes for a well-rounded meal.
Instead of fast food, you can try meal prepping at home, making sandwiches or wraps with lean protein and veggies, or opting for a salad with grilled chicken or fish. These options are healthier and can be made quickly at home.
To ensure you are getting enough nutrients in your meals, aim for a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Eating a variety of foods will help you get a range of nutrients and keep your meals balanced.
