If you’re exploring new functional food or supplement concepts, understanding fat burning foods is essential. These ingredients not only appeal to a health-conscious market, but many are backed by science to support metabolism, fat oxidation, and sustainable weight loss.
At Siena , we help founders, researchers, and product innovators formulate, validate, and commercialize fat burning foods —especially those rooted in evidence-based nutrition. Whether you’re building a beverage, bar, capsule, or powder, we specialize in bringing fat-burning functional ingredients to life.
Below are 12 of the most effective fat burning foods—plus insights on how Siena can help you turn these into standout consumer products.
Eggs are a complete protein and rich in choline, which supports fat metabolism. Products using egg protein (like ready-to-mix shakes or savory snacks) appeal to fitness-forward consumers.
Siena Insight: We can help you formulate shelf-stable products with high-protein egg blends while meeting clean-label and allergen-compliance standards.
Capsaicin increases thermogenesis and fat oxidation. It’s ideal for use in fat-burning supplements, functional shots, or spicy snacks.
Siena Insight: We’ll guide your regulatory strategy for GRAS-approved levels of capsaicin and optimize sensory profiles to balance heat and flavor.
High in fiber and micronutrients that regulate cortisol and insulin—two key hormones that influence fat storage.
Siena Insight: We’ve worked with greens in both powdered and fresh-pressed formats. Ask us about developing functional juices or green capsules with clinically substantiated claims.
Rich in monounsaturated fats, avocados help reduce abdominal fat and keep you full longer. Avocado oil is gaining popularity as a functional fat in keto and metabolic health products.
Siena Insight: We support sourcing and formulation strategies using avocado oil, butter, or freeze-dried powders for bars, emulsions, and spreads.
High in antioxidants and fiber, berries improve fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
Siena Insight: With access to top-tier berry extract suppliers and analytical labs, we help you quantify actives (like anthocyanins) and incorporate them into clean-label SKUs.
Omega-3s reduce inflammation and support lean mass retention—key for long-term fat loss.
Siena Insight: We specialize in encapsulation technologies and flavor masking for fish oil in powders, gummies, or softgels that actually taste good.
A proven fat burner. Green tea catechins increase energy expenditure and improve fat oxidation—especially during exercise.
Siena Insight: We help brands formulate with standardized green tea extracts for maximum potency while ensuring stability and label claims that pass regulatory review.
Complex carbs like sweet potatoes stabilize blood sugar, increase satiety, and provide beta-carotene for antioxidant support.
Siena Insight: We’ve supported freeze-dried sweet potato formats in snack chips and functional baby foods, including solutions for glycemic labeling and nutritional compliance.
High in protein and probiotics, Greek yogurt helps maintain lean mass and gut health—two pillars of a healthy metabolism.
Siena Insight: Our team can help develop ambient, shelf-stable fermented dairy alternatives, protein yogurts, or powderized yogurt cultures for supplement blends.
Legumes are packed with fiber and plant protein, helping regulate appetite and feed the microbiome.
Siena Insight: We advise on processing technologies (extrusion, sprouting, puffing) and formulation techniques for savory snacks and plant-based ready meals.
Nuts support metabolic health and satiety, even in small amounts. They’re a perfect base for high-fat, low-sugar snacks.
Siena Insight: We help brands work around nut allergies, improve texture, and ensure oil stability in products like bars, butters, and nutrition clusters.
Garlic may support fat metabolism by influencing fat cell formation and improving blood sugar balance.
Siena Insight: We guide flavor formulation and odor-masking solutions for garlic capsules and savory snacks to ensure consumer compliance.
