20 Fat Burning Foods (That Taste AMAZING!)
A YouTube fitness coach ditches the broccoli lecture and hands dieters a snack list they’ll actually want to eat.
Max Posternak, who runs the channel Gravity Transformation – Fat Loss Experts, built his reputation on blunt, numbers-first diet advice, and his video “20 Fat Burning Foods (That Taste AMAZING!)” is no exception. Instead of repeating the standard grapefruit-and-cauliflower script, he walks through more than 20 specific snacks, condiments, and swaps that keep protein high and carbs low without leaving dieters bored. The pitch is simple: diets fail from fatigue, not from a lack of willpower, so the fix is finding food that satisfies cravings while staying inside a caloric deficit.
- Posternak opens by naming the real reason diets collapse — not weak discipline, but bland, repetitive food choices like plain broccoli and grapefruit.
- He backs nearly every pick with hard macros: a cup of pickles at 17 calories, sweet & spicy tuna packets at a 4-to-1 protein-to-carb ratio (16g protein, 4g carbs), and a sugar-free beef jerky hitting 15g protein for just 1g of carbs.
- The list runs from salty snacks (pickles, pork rinds, kale chips) to appetite-suppressing staples (coffee, stevia) to high-protein finishers (Greek and Icelandic yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, Pure Protein bars).
The Case Against Boring Diet Food
Posternak’s framing at the top of the video is straightforward: everyone already knows broccoli and cauliflower are “healthy,” and another video repeating that advice helps nobody stick to a diet. His argument is that sustainable fat loss comes down to finding foods that taste good enough to eat regularly, not just foods that are technically low-calorie. That’s the through-line connecting condiments, jerky, and snack foods that would normally get written off as diet-unfriendly.
Eating them won’t burn off the pizza you ate three hours beforehand. However, they will help satisfy your hunger, and they’ll taste good without driving your daily calories way up.
Salty Snacks and Portable Protein
The list starts at 1:06 with pickles, which Posternak flags as one of the most overlooked diet foods available. A full cup runs just 17 calories, and a medium pickle carries only about one gram of carbs; sugar-free bread-and-butter spears cost 5 to 7 calories apiece. He does note the sodium tradeoff — pickles are loaded with salt, which can show up as water-weight gain — but argues that’s temporary and easily flushed, with low-sodium versions available for anyone who wants to skip that entirely.
From there he moves to sweet & spicy tuna packets at 1:59, built around a 4-to-1 protein-to-carb ratio: 16 grams of protein against just 4 grams of carbs, with the ranch flavor from the same brand pushing that further to 15 grams of protein for a single gram of carbs. Chicken and beef jerky follow at 2:44 as the other portable, high-protein option. Caveman’s buffalo-style chicken jerky checks in at 70 calories with 12 grams of protein and 3 grams of carbs, Jack Link’s turkey jerky runs similar macros, and the standard Jack Link’s beef jerky comes in at 11 grams of protein to 6 grams of carbs — roughly a 2-to-1 ratio. Posternak singles out Jack Link’s sugar-free beef jerky as the standout of the group, at 15 grams of protein for just 1 gram of carbs, while warning that teriyaki and sweet-and-hot varieties carry noticeably more sugar.
Cutting Fat Calories Without Cutting Flavor
At 3:43 Posternak runs through condiments that add flavor for almost nothing: mustard at 3 calories and 0.3 grams of carbs per packet, Frank’s Red Hot at virtually zero calories, and horseradish sauce as another low-cost flavor booster. PB2 powdered peanut butter gets its own segment at 5:01 as a way to keep peanut butter’s taste while stripping out most of the fat calories that come with the regular jarred version. That same logic — big flavor, small calorie tab — runs through the protein smoothie section at 5:48 and hard-boiled eggs at 6:44, both pitched for satiety and a thermic effect that helps the body burn slightly more processing them.
Coffee at 7:24 and stevia at 7:57 round out the appetite-suppression angle, with Posternak noting caffeine’s role in curbing hunger and giving metabolism a modest push, while stevia lets dieters sweeten food and drinks without the calorie hit of sugar.

Snacks Built to Beat Cravings
The back half of the video targets specific cravings rather than general hunger. Pure Protein bars at 8:58 and dark chocolate at 9:17 are positioned as the fix for a sweet tooth without derailing a deficit, while kale chips at 9:45 and pork rinds at 10:16 stand in for chips when someone wants something crunchy and savory. Portion-controlled nuts get their own mention at 10:29, followed by Greek and Icelandic yogurt at 11:03 for a high-protein, low-calorie dessert substitute. Cheese shows up at 12:10 as a controlled-portion option rather than something to eliminate outright, and the rundown closes with zero-calorie seasonings at 12:50, which Posternak frames as the easiest way to keep the same handful of lean proteins from tasting identical meal after meal. That focus on macros and sustainability lines up with the kind of practical nutrition breakdowns covered in InfoSearched’s health coverage.
Posternak wraps the whole rundown on that seasonings segment at the 12:50 mark, treating it less as a bonus tip and more as the point of the entire video: the difference between a diet that lasts and one that gets abandoned by week three usually comes down to whether the food on the plate still tastes like something worth eating.
