Edamame is a powerful little bean! The protein-packed young soybean is not only tasty and filling, but it's got tons of nutrients you need to reach your weight-loss goals. A cup of edamame has tons and tons of fiber and protein, as well as high iron levels for energy.

What's more, is that edamame is essentially a brain-powering superfood. These beans are full of huge amounts of magnesium and tryptophan, which release serotonin, as well as B vitamins and omega-3s, which are depression and anxiety-fighting. It's also pretty versatile when it comes to cooking.
