Healthy food

Here is a little more information.

For a more healthy diet red meat should be cut back. I used to eat red meat everyday. Now I eat it about once or twice a week.
Chicken is one of the healthiest meats followed by turkey and pork (Fish and seafood are really good too).
If you are going to eat Beef stick to lean cuts. If you really need some ground beef try to got 90%+ lean, I've seen some 99% lean before. When it comes to beef the leaner cuts tend to be very tough so you need to slow cook them or pressure cook them.

Another thing is that a serving of meat is about 4oz. 4oz Of plain chicken tenders are 100 calories.

Most of the meat packages now have the calories right on it. Always check labels!!!!

When cooking meat try to avoid frying foods or cooking foods in oil. Use spray oil when you can.

A standard meal as a protein source(Meat, Fish, Seafood, Complete proteins), a starch (rice, potatoes, grain, bread) and a vegetable.
A quarter plate meat a quarter plate starch and a half plate veggies. So 4oz boneless skinless chicken breast, 1 cup cooked brown rice and 2 cups green beans. There are tons of combos but you get the picture.
Try to eat 20grams of protein at lunch and dinner. (You need 50 grams of protein a day.)

That's it for now.
