Another essential is to avoid preparation that is going to add calories and fat. Don't bread foods. Lay off high-calorie, high-fat marinades. Instead, opt for soy sauce, fruit juices, vinaigrettes or other low-fat salad dressings. Avoid topping burgers, chicken breasts and fish with high-calorie, high-fat cheese as well. The next step is to get cooking. Grilling is a great way to prepare beef, chicken and fish, although it should be done in moderation. When grilling, the fatty juices tend to drip off of the food. However, open-flame grilling has been found to produce cancer-promoting compounds. Stir frying adds little fat to the mix. It's important that you don't cook at high temperature for long periods of time when baking, broiling, roasting or grilling as it can break down valuable nutrients in chicken, beef and fish. Think outside the box and investigate other healthy ways to prepare your meats and vegetables. - << Prev
