Lean Protein: Healthy Ways to Load Up

Protein helps keep hunger at bay between meals, facilitating weight loss, but the trick is to choose lean protein. Fortunately, that’s relatively easy with this list.

• Go for ground sirloin, the leanest ground beef.
• Don’t forget the eggs, the most inexpensive source of protein.
• Pick up pork chops or a lean pork loin. These are very inexpensive choices for very lean meat.
• Buy at most two servings of red meat per person per week. One study found that women with type 2 diabetes who ate more red meat were more likely to develop heart disease than women with diabetes who ate less.
• Skip the bacon and hot dogs. Processed meats such as bacon and hot dogs seem to increase your risk of diabetes.
• Buy seafood to stash in the freezer. Or you can head to the sushi station for a protein-packed prepared meal. (Adapted by Jessy Pearl)
