A tomato (around 200 g) has only 30 calories. The average intake of a woman is about 600 calories. If one or two meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner) are replaced by tomatoes, it can reduce the absorption of hundreds of calories. Comparing with the normal three meals a day of total intake of 1,800 calories, one can easily meet their weight-loss goals.
How many tomatoes can I take between meals?
Basically there is no limit. If you are tired of eating raw tomatoes, just cook them. But the frying, stir-frying and baking are forbidden. Steam, boil or make tomato soup are your options.
Cautions of replacing meals with tomatoes:
1. Tomatoes are comprised by water, and except vitamin C, there are few nutrients in them. So pay attention that you get your nutrients from other foods.
2. Any excessive food causes obesity. But fortunately tomatoes cause satiety easily. However, eating too many can lead to edema.
