Chicken, beef and tofu are all naturally low fat choices. The secret is to not add fat in cooking or as sauces.

Remove the skin from poultry. Choose light meat more often as it has less fat then dark meat. Have fried or breaded chicken less often. The pastry in pot pies or cream sauces on chicken increases the fat content. Try to use lower fat cooking methods vs. Frying. If frying use a non-stick pan or cooking spray. Choose leaner cuts of meat from the hip or loin more often and trim off the visible fat. Serve meat without gravy or cream sauces or use smaller amounts of gravy/sauces. Try removing fat from gravy by chilling and skimming fat off the top.
