COOKING
METHODS FOR MEAT AND MEATLESS ALTERNATIVES
|
| 1.
Choose lean cuts of meat. Trim all visible fat and remove poultry skin
before cooking. |
|
| 2.
Use cooking methods such as broiling, poaching, baking, barbecuing,
boiling,
microwaving and roasting on a rack that allows fat to drip away from
meat.
If using lean ground beef, medium hamburger for spaghetti sauces, etc.,
brown meat first, discard fat and proceed with recipe. |
|
|
| 3.
Select more fish, poultry and meatless alternatives. Try to include at
least two fish meals per week. When canned fish is selected, fish
packed
in water or broth is the best choice. |
|
| 4.
To make low fat gravy, sauces and stews, refrigerate first, them skim
fat
from surface. Faster method: skim off fat, add ice cubes to liquid and
skim fat again. |
|
| 5.
Meatless meals include low fat cheese, egg substitutes, peanut butter,
legumes, and tofu. To make your protein complete combine a legume with
cereal or low fat dairy product to egg substitute or egg white or
pasta. |
|
| 6. "Remember"
egg yolk, organ meats and shrimp have a HIGH cholesterol
content. |
|
Changing
what you eat and method of food preparation can reduce significantly
your
blood cholesterol level. If the cholesterol level does not come down
after
a few months, your physician may recommend a much stricter diet. If,
despite
your honest efforts, you must take medication, your good eating habits
may let you reduce the quantity.
|
One
serving of meat equals 1 oz. (cooked weight, no bones or fat) or 25
grams.
Meat
supplies protein and iron but you only need small amounts for your
daily
protein requirement. By cutting down on the amount eaten daily, you
avoid
the major source of saturated fat and cholesterol.
Meatless Alternatives are
good sources of protein, and are low in fat and cholesterol. |
