Nothing is more fattening than fat!
Always trim surplus fat away from meat and poultry - as well as saving calories you will also be eliminating a lot of unhealthy saturated fat from your diet.
Good Ideas
Trimming fat from a typical steak or pork chop will save 100 - 150 calories
Trimming away the fat from a lamb chop will save 100 - 125 calories
Trimming the fat from a bacon rasher saves 50 - 75 calories
Removing the skin from a chicken breast will save you 75 - 100 calories.
If you cook the chicken breast with the skin on, and then remove it (but don't eat it) you'll still save 50 - 75 calories. In other words, leaving the skin on the chicken whilst it's cooking, then removing it before eating the breast, will effectively cost you 25 calories.
Removing the fat and skin from a duck breast will save you about 125 - 150 calories.
Removing skin from fish will also save calories. It's impossible to say exactly how many as the level of fat in fish skin depends on many things such as the time of year it was caught and whether the fish was wild or farmed. But if you leave it on your plate you will definitely be eating few calories..
My next topic will also be about fat in "Skim It".
Happy slimming,
we're on our way,
