However, some packaged ground chicken or turkey may contain more fat than ground beef. Check labels or have the butcher grind the meat. Lean and Extra Lean tenderloin, sirloin, top loin. This removes fat, but does not affect the taste. Extra lean pork, for example, has a fat content equivalent to that of chicken.
Check labels carefully, however.
Some are actually still quite high in fat. Note on garlic. Studies conflict on the benefits of garlic, but it contains allicin, which may affect cholesterol production. Nuts are very high in calories, however. All fried chips, oil-popped or buttered popcorn, packaged chip dips, olives, salted nuts and seeds.
