Low Fat Superfoods That You Can Eat

Trying to stick to a low-fat diet can be a bit difficult. You may find yourself eating bland 
foods or eating the same foods with little variety. If you know you want to stick to the 
low-fat lifestyle, you may want to expand your diet to superfoods that can boost other 
aspects of your diet. Here are a few of those superfoods and what they can do for you 
along with various ways to prepare each superfood. 

Broth of any kind

Unless you are on a specific diet such as vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian then you 
can use any kind of broth to help boost your diet. Most of the broths are low in fat and 
can be skimmed to remove extra fat if they are bone based. Broth has the benefits of 
the bone marrow and vegetables that are used to create the broth itself. You can gain 
vitamins, minerals, collagen, and gelatin. During the winter, many people replace a cup 
of coffee or hot tea with a cup of broth. You can also add the broth to rice if you are on a 
high carb diet or to soups for low-carb diets. Broth can be made in large batches ahead 
of time and frozen for later. To reheat it, just place it on a low heat on the stove or on 
defrost and low heat in the microwave.

Turnip

If you want to add a superfood that is a low-fat vegetable to your diet, then turnips may 
be the ideal one. Turnips offer several benefits beyond just the normal vitamins. They 
also offer a large amount of folate as well as fiber and magnesium. If you want to use 
the entire turnip, consider roasting the turnip bulb or root and cook the leafy greens. You 
can have a full meal off this alone if you are on a vegan or vegetarian. You can add fish 
or low fat meats if you have no meat based restrictions. 

Turkey

Turkey is a very affordable and low fat option for meat lovers. You can use it in the 
same way that you use hamburger meat or other ground meats. It can be mixed with 
low fat options like pork as well to create meatballs and other meat dishes. Turkey takes 
on flavor easily, but because it lacks the fat of other meats, you will need to use 
stronger flavors like chili and paprika. 

Most of these foods fit any budget. Broth may be a bit of an issue since you likely want 
to keep sodium intake down as well as the fat. If that is the case you can make it 
yourself, freeze it, and heat it up for later.
