"Healthy" Meat?

There is no better red meat then venison.

THIS!!

I eat mostly boneless skinless chicken breast and tilapia. I've discovered I love hummus, which makes a great dip and sauce. One thing to note about "light" products.. they replace the fat with sugar. My body processes fat better than sugar, so I stick with the regular products and eat in moderation.

I like salmon and chicken as my lean meat proteins. (I also eat lots of steak and ground beef though). Pork tenderloin is also good.

Mango salsa is delicious with fish or chicken breast. Dice 1 ripe mango, 1 jalapeno pepper, 1/4 red onion, 2 tbsp cilantro and, if you like it, 1/4 avocado. Blend together with the juice of 1 lime and a little salt, pepper and ground cumin.

I made this sauce this weekend for some salmon and it was great, it could be used on pork, as well: mash 2 cloves of garlic with some kosher salt into a paste. Add about 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp creole mustard (you could substitute stone ground mustard) and about 1 tbsp fresh dill. Drizzle in a little olive oil. Mix well. Baste fish with sauce while grilling. Really good.

Honestly, I believe that what is healthiest is to eat a variety of different types of meats.

This. But with a slight emphasis on white meat and fish.

Bison meat is fantastic.

My boss is really into this "Bullet-Proof" diet, and in doing so, has been created sauces and spreads using MCT oil. Being that it's essentially pure medium chain triglycerides, it's healthier than anything you can buy on the shelf. I would buy the oil and research recipes. Thus far he has made mayonnaise (perfect for your tuna salads,etc.) and Bacon Vinaigrette for his spinach salads. He loves it. I've only recently started to introduce myself to ketones so I just ordered a bottle of MCT Oil and will be trying it out myself. From what I hear it's great and lifts your energy. Something I truly need...

Honestly, meat isn't that high in calories in my opinion unless you are also accounting for sauces & marinades put on them. Grilled meat with dry seasoning for the most part are low in calories. Perhaps your portions are skewed.

how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

One of my daily affirmations

Oh, And sauces. that's something else I have a hard time with. on sandwiches, everything I ate was dipped in some kind of sauce. BBQ, Ranch, some kind of grilling sauce, always a sauce. I LOVE it! any good low(er) Calorie sauce Ideas, or even subsitutes? Or even just fresh sandwhich Ideas? I eat so many salads and sanwiches I'm kinda getting burned out on the "usual"... any ideas?

I use boneless chicken breast, boil it with Saltgrass 7 seasoning (the more, the spicer), shred it, and mix with light miracle whip. Three ounces of meat on two slices of whole wheat bread = 190 calories. 21 Carbs, 6 fat, 21 protein and so good!

Oh, and three ounces of this is actually quite a bit so you may not put that much on yours.

Three ounces of meat is "quite a bit?" For many meats, three ounces is one serving, the "right" amount. For chicken breast though, 4-6 ounces is one serving.

3 oz is quite a bit for most sandwiches, though.

There is one - Moose!

I'm all about white meat chicken, albacore tuna, and tilipia. As for the sauces, I had to break myself from them. Have you tried to substitute with more seasoning or veggies? There is several salt-free McCormick spices in shakers on the market today. I've also used green, yellow, and red peppers sliced thin and cooked with my meats on my George Forman grill. If you want to skillet fry, try a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil (or canola).

I've heard there is a gluten-free gravy at Boston Market (we don't have one around here though).

Good luck to you! :happy:

I also used to not eat fish, any at all, ever. It grossed me out. Slowly after 23+ years of being fish free I will eat any of it now. And I love it. I need it prepared well (love it bbq'd, in curry, raw) and I can't get enough! Oysters for lunch, clams and salmon for dinner! Yum! I live in Seattle though where it is readily available. But, we buy frozen talapia filets at Coscto and I love them, I started eating those first and have moved into everything else. My favorite way is cooked fish (whatever kind) over a bed of spinach with some asian salad dressing. yummmm. Keep trying it, if you don't like it don't write it off, try it again prepared a different way.

Emu meat is fairly high on the healthy meat list.

For a second I thought you said Emo .... opps

And the thread turned cannibal on the first page!

I prefer happier meat.

The deer seemed happy while I was watching it for a minute or two through the scope.
