Thinking about fat loss in 2026? 🛒💡
Not all “healthy” Costco buys actually support your goals. As a holistic nutritionist, I see a lot of packaged foods that look convenient but don’t keep you full or support fat loss — and these 3 are the ones I’d personally pass on.
While 10g of protein may seem like a lot, when compared to the higher amounts of fats and carbs, it can’t really be considered high protein. This means most of the calories are coming from fats and carbs (neither of which are bad!), but when trying to lose fat, the goal is to prioritize protein-rich foods. I recommend aiming for 0.8–1g of protein per lb of bodyweight, depending on your activity levels.
💡 Quick tip to identify if a food is truly protein-rich:
1. Compare protein to carbs and fats — if carbs or fats are higher than protein, it’s not protein-dense.
2. Shortcut check: multiply the grams of protein by 4 (to get calories from protein) and see if it’s roughly half or more of total calories. If not, it’s not a high-protein food.
⚡ Remember: it’s not about restriction, it’s about making choices that support your body and keep you satisfied.
