Students often feel lazy post their lectures and blame their lack of time to exercise for the weight they’ve gained. However, experts claim that the main culprits are our bad food choices. Thus, to stay healthy and active, instead of blaming your long lectures, you need to choose energy boosting foods, which increase your body’s ability to convert food into energy, thereby, leaving you with less stored fat.

Here we bring you a detailed information about seven such energy foods that will keep you pumped all day long.

Choose from these seven food options all that suits you:

Protein Bars: With the low amount of carbs and nutritional emphasis on protein, they work as a great alternative to unhealthy snacks. They are an easy option to help you stick to a healthy eating plan.

Berries: With extremely high antioxidant value, they fall into the list of some of the healthiest foods on the planet. From Goji berry to the Acai berry, they all offer plenty of benefits. While goji berries have been scientifically linked to possessing the ability to fight negative health conditions, Blueberry helps reduce the chances of getting a disease.

Eggs: Known as protein powerhouse, eggs are rich in B-vitamins, which are responsible for converting food into energy. For a lean energy-filled meal or snack, stick to just 2-3 egg whites.
