5. Chicken Breast: Deboned, De-Skinned
People who are trying to lose weight are very often told to avoid anything that resembles a cut of meat depending on which diet they are following – and this can be a huge let-down for people who love to eat meat. If you’re a vegetarian, you can just skip this entry and go straight to the next one – but if you’re not and you really miss meat in your diet, then you should consider replacing it with chicken breast.
Lean chicken breast is one of the healthier meat cuts, and it’s got approximately 92 calories per 3 ounces serving: That’s a lot less than what comes with your average cheeseburger.
You don’t have to be boring about your chicken breast, either: You can do a lot of things with it once it’s prepared, and you can even turn it into a healthy salad option. Remember that you should avoid frying this in high-calorie butter, oil or fat.
