A fair amount of dieters often make the mistake of thinking that if they remove the meat, they remove the calories. Unfortunately, many often substitute nuts, nut butters and high fat cheese for protein. Without the meat, it’s very hard to get enough iron and zinc – 2 vital nutrients that help you maintain your energy and performance levels. Don’t short-change yourself when making nutritionally unhelpful sacrifices. Always shop smart instead.

1.  In beef, some of the leanest cuts are flank, sirloin, and tenderloin. The leanest cut of pork is fresh, cured, canned, and boiled ham; Canadian side bacon; pork tenderloin; rib chops; and roast. Lean cuts of lamb includes roasts, legs and chops; white meat poultry is lower in fat than dark meat.

2.  Any meat labeled “select” is a leaner cut than meat graded as “choice.”

3.  Both ground turkey and ground chicken can contain the skin, which makes it high in fat & calories. Always look for ground chicken or turkey meat for the lowest amount of fat. While ground turkey breast is lower then both.

4.  It isn’t necessary to remove the skin of chicken before cooking, which sacrifices juiciness. The chicken will not absorb the fat or calories. But always be sure to remove the skin before eating

5.  Turkeys that are self-basting have the fat injected into the meat. These types of meat are best avoided by dieters.

6.  Always buy water packed tuna and sardines rather than those that are packed in oil.

A nice, low fat meal can be something very grand or as simple as a fresh fruit, yogurt, or granola. It can easily take five hours or be ready in 5 minutes. To add years onto your life outside the kitchen – and also make the most of your time in the kitchen you should start by following these few, but simple rules:

1. Always keep it simple. Many times some of the best meals are made with just a few fresh vegetables, some herbs and spices, and a piece of fish, chicken, or even a baked potato.

2. Don’t take long; keep it quick. Use fast cooking methods like stir-frying, steaming, or sautéing instead of time-intensive techniques like stewing or roasting.

3. Remember to spice it up. Most kitchens only contain a small assortment of herbs and spices such as – salt, pepper, maybe some garlic powder and oregano – despite the fact that spices from around the globe are available in almost any neighborhood supermarket. Increasing your assortment of spices is the single most important thing you can do to expand your flavor horizons.
