the dear doctor exiled me to a low fat diet . . .
how much is low? no answers . . . make it up as you go . . .
fish, poultry per se are very low fat.
beef can be low fat - you have to be picky. ground beef 80/20,,, no. 92/93/95/x - yes.
steaks - trim the fat! the marbling does bring fat, but it is minimal compared to a big ole fat cap.
USDA Prime vs Choice is the amount of marbling - you can see this with ye olde' eyeball!
pork - same idea - the meat proper is rather lean, but the typical fat cap is not - trim trim trim.....
salad greens - low fat. but brings up the point - the greens are fine, the creamy dressings . . . not so low fat!
how you prepare the fish/poultry/pork/beef is THE controlling factor to "fat consumption"
fish / chicken smothered in cheese . . . no, not low fat.
meatballs and spaghetti . . . . works until you put piles of parm on it.
grilled/broiled steak is not outrageous, unless you do the resto trick of ladling melted compound butter over it . . .
as for "dishes" - petty much all the vegetables are ultra low fat - sauted in butter,,,, oops!
potatoes are one of my fav - low fat, very filling/satisfying.
but baked potato with butter, sour cream, bacon bits . . . no so low fat.
