Will your goal of losing weight become more difficult if you consume meat? This is a question many people have asked…
Healthy weight loss plan
According to MedicineNet, a healthy weight loss plan does allow you to consume meat, however under the following two conditions:
1.    Eat lean meat
Meat should be as lean as possible so try choosing cuts that do not have a lot of fat and be sure to trim off all visible fat. Lower fat meats may include pork tenderloin, beef round steak, tenderloin, sirloin tip, flank steak, and extra lean ground beef.
Cholesterol and saturated fat
Red meat, pork, chicken, and even fish contain some cholesterol as well as saturated fat, which is the least healthy kind of fat! If you enjoy eating chicken, remember to cut off the skin as it contains a very high quantity of fat.
2.    Watch your portion size
Meat contains healthy nutrients that are required by your body for nourishment. These nutrients include protein, iron, and zinc. Even though, your body needs these nutrients, it is still vital to watch your portion size. To give you an idea: 85 grams of meat or poultry is the size of a deck of cards.
Seek assistance from a dietician if you need to work out what portion sizes are right for you.
