12 PowerFuel Picks from Nutrisystem Success Stories

PowerFuels are a crucial component to the Nutrisystem program. Protein-rich foods with essential amino acids and healthy fats, PowerFuels take longer to digest. These attributes leave you feeling fuller for longer which keeps you from overeating.

Common foods that fit the bill for PowerFuel rock stars are chicken (two ounces), almond butter (one tablespoon) and nonfat yogurt (one cup), just to name a few.

There are vast possibilities of how to incorporate PowerFuels into your Nutrisystem weight loss plan, so let’s take a cue from the pros—those individuals who have worked their way through the Nutrisystem program and come out on the other side as shining examples of the success that is possible.
