What Fruit -Help *(Energy and Burning fat)*?
Too much fruit is not a good thing. You should have 2 pieces a day, and that should be a steady supply of what your body may be lacking as far as some vitamins. Bananas, watermellon, red or purple grapes, papaya, mangos are all very good. Pineapples are good, but not everyone's stomachs are able to process the acidity. To burn fat and calories though you need to do the following:

You need to lose fat to make the stomach flatter. Eat a few more snacks during the day and try to vary your cardio routine to include more intensity, this will cause the body to burn more calories, thus burning more fat, and therefore providing a leaner stomach. Abs exercises strengthing and enlarge the ab muscles, which does not provide a leaner, flatter stomach. Only proper eating and exercise can help you achieve that.

Foods that Contain Vitamin C



Because the body requires vitamin C to burn fat, eating foods that are high in vitamin C is said to help metabolize fat faster and make losing weight less difficult. You might want to try eating more oranges, pineapple, grapefruit, lemons, limes, green peppers, red, peppers, etc. These foods that burn fat are tasty and have few calories too to help increase the health in your diet.

For your energy needs, you need foods rich in protein



"But how do you get enough protein?"

How important a question this is for many potential vegetarians! Our culture seems to be obsessed with obtaining enough protein. And yet protein is one of the easiest nutrients to get. By an inappropriate choice of foods, a person might be deficient in vitamins A or C; but it is almost impossible to be protein-deficient on a calorically adequate diet. To see why this is so, we need to look at protein requirements as a percentage of calories.



Protein as a Percentage of Calories

Protein, fat, and carbohydrate--the three major components of common foods--all contain calories, in about this ratio:



1 gram of protein = 4 calories



1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories



1 gram of fat = 9 calories



Thus, if a potato weighing 100 grams contains 76 calories and 2.1 grams of protein, we say that it contains 2.1 x 4 = 8.4 calories as protein, or about 11% calories as protein.



According to the National Research Council, an adult male requires 2700 calories and 56 grams of protein. The 56 grams of protein represent 224 calories, or about 8.3% of calories as protein. For the adult female, the figure is about the same: 2000 calories and 44 grams of protein, or about 8.8% of calories as protein.



If wheat has 17% of calories as protein, potatoes 11%, broccoli 45%, corn 15%, and so on, then all of these foods provide enough protein on a calorically adequate diet, even if you eat nothing but potatoes, wheat, and broccoli. In fact, of the common plant foods, almost all provide more than 10% of calories as protein. Only the fruits, as a rule, contain less; but this is not going to be a problem unless one is trying to live on an all-fruit diet.
