Opt for lean meat

A wide variety of cuts of fat-free meat are available on the market. **Look for “loin”, “round”, “extra lean” and “sirloin”, they will be excellent options to provide yourself with the protein and iron that meat contains without worrying about fat intake. Roasting, baking, braising and grilling healthier methods of cooking meat. Use nonstick pans and use cooking spray or butter during preparation. Another way to reduce fat is to use cooked ground beef, rinse with hot water, and drain well before following the recipe.

Lean poultry meat

Say no to fried chicken, wings and sausage nuggets. Eat baked, roasted, or steamed, including in a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, broth, or wine. Keep in mind that black poultry meat contains twice as much fat as white meat. The skin is full of fat, so remove it before cooking or choose skinless varieties. Green Steam Serve steamed vegetables instead of stews or main dishes. Steaming or microwaving vegetables means you don’t need to add any fat during preparation. Prefer lemon juice, herbs or vinegar for your dressing instead of butter, or if using oil, let it be olive oil or in a smaller quantity.

Whole grains

Whenever you have the chance, choose whole grain bread and whole wheat bread for sandwiches and with your meals. All types of white bread contain plenty of refined sugar and calories. These refined sugars are the so-called “bad carbohydrates” so mentioned today. If it is impossible for you to do without white bread, choose the diet presentation.
