Experts recommend including broccoli four times a week. 

Eggs

Whole eggs, especially the whites, are rich in protein. It is often suggested that in order to burn fat, it's important to add more protein-rich food to your diet as it keeps you feeling fuller for a longer period. Eggs are also low in calories and high in Vitamin D.
