Your meat selection is an easy and effective way to trim the fat from your diet. Since meat is a source of saturated fat, the recommendation is that you only have 3 ounces per meal. You can even buy a food scale in order to get an accurate weight of your meat.

Choice grade meats are the best. Next in line would be lean cuts:
- Tenderloin
- Sirloin tip
- Round tip
- Eye of round
You can also replace your ground beef with either lean ground beef, ground turkey or ground sirloin. If you are a lamb eater, the leanest cuts are found in the loin, shoulder and leg. You should also trim off any visible fat remaining on the meat or lamb before cooking it.
Pork is the leaner choice of meat and can be a healthy meat option (in moderation, of course). Lean cuts of pork are even better. You want to avoid processed pork products because they are always high in fat.
