Helpful Nutrition Tips, courtesy of Amy Kubal.. who is on my friends link.. Go to her website… she has some great information on there for Elite Nutrition…

Pork

Here ‘loin’ is the key word again. Pork loin, top-loin pork chops, and sirloin chops are the best bets.

Poultry

It’s fairly common knowledge that skinless chicken and turkey breast are the leanest choices. That being said, the All White Meat Premium Chicken Strips from McDonalds and the Original Recipe Chicken Breast from KFC do not qualify as good choices. Preparation is key in this catagory! Breading, deep fat frying, or drowning in sauce = bad idea!!



Eggs

Eggs have gotten a bad wrap in the media. They do not have to be avoided and you can eat the yolk too!! Eggs fortified with Omega-3 Fatty Acids, such as Eggland’s Best make the smartest choice, they are a little more expensive though. If you are on a budget, normal eggs can work. I am not recommending 6 whole eggs a day, but 1-2 per day is acceptable.

Fish and Seafood

This category is wide open, there really isn’t a ‘bad’ choice. The best options are fatty, wild-caught fish such as salmon and tuna. Some types of fish may contain high levels of mercury and should be enjoyed less frequently. The varieties with the highest mercury content are shark, king mackeral, swordfish, and tilefish (golden snapper or golden bass).Again, preparation is key in this catagory also. If you are having crab legs or lobster you’re doing great…unless you’re dipping it in copious amounts of melted butter. Also, many times fish and seafood are breaded and fried, tasty – yes, a good choice – not so much. If canned/packaged tuna or salmon are staples in your diet choose the water packed, low-sodium varieties.



Wild Game

If you are lucky enough to have access to it – enjoy it! Many grocery stores carry buffalo meat and check out local butcher shops for other options. You never know what you’ll find!

Soy Products and Meat Substitutes

This is where GardenBurgers, Boca, Morningstar, Quorn, tofu, tempeh, TVP, etc. fit. My advice here – avoid all of these and see the catagories listed above for better choices!!That’s the short story on meat selection. The bottom line is go lean, grass-fed or wild when you can and ENJOY it!
