- White-Meat Chicken, Skinless
An easy meat to gravitate toward when watching your weight is chicken and fresh chicken home delivery is your best option. Skip the dark meats like the thighs and drumsticks and instead go for the leaner parts of the bird. These include the wings, breast tenderloins (tenders) and breasts. You can cook the chicken in the skin (there is no proof to say that the calorie count is affected during the prep phase) and remove it after that to keep your dish lean and mean. A tip from us, leaving the skin on during cooking will guarantee a more delicious, moist result. An even better tip is to order and get your fresh chicken home delivery from us – it’s healthy and will work the tastebuds and not the waistline.
- White-Meat Turkey, Skinless
Many associate turkeys with Christmas but it’s a lean meat that will do wonders for your diet. A serving of 100 grams will provide around 113 calories, 23 grams of protein and 1.5 grams of fat. A great tip is using turkey mince for meatballs, burgers, stews and soups.
- Lean Beef
Lean beef contains under 10 grams of total fat and 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat for every 100 grams. Examples of this lean meat can be seen in the forms of tenderloin and sirloin steak.
- Pork Loin
