Grilling is a good way to cook lean. Foods cooked on a grill naturally lose fat as they cook. To make things even leaner, start with lean cuts. Pork loin chops and tenderloin, skinless chicken breasts, beef tenderloin, round, sirloin or flank are all good choices.
Lean meat can benefit from marinades to help increase flavor and tenderness.
Wine vinegar, lemon juice with herbs, low-fat italian salad dressing or lite soy sauce are a few you might try. Remember to keep portion size in balance. Five to seven ounces of cooked meat, fish or poultry each day is a good amount. Lean meat cooks more quickly, so check it often. For a complete meal, put vegetables wrapped in foil on the grill the last ten to fifteen minutes.
