Hi...
Welcome to HCM..
Even if you want to lose weight you have to eat something for basal metabolism to continue..
Protein is better instead of carbohydrates and fats as it helps in muscle building rather than being stored as fat..
You can incorporate larger amount of protein of any source in your regular diet..
If you want to lose weight take it in limited amounts..
Hope this information helps you..Take care..
