(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Dusting off the old grill? Keep these tips in mind to help you grill “fat-sensibly” this summer.
Go for grilled fish. The healthiest types include salmon, trout and herring, which are high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Buy chicken breasts instead of the fattier dark meat (legs and thighs). Remember to remove the skin before eating or try grilling chicken or turkey burgers using breast meat and add diced onions for more flavor.
Choose “loin” and “round” cuts of red meat and pork. Look for “choice” or “select” grades of beef instead of “prime.” While these have the least amount of fat, don’t forget to trim the fat when you get home.
Use a rack so the fat drips away from the food.
