How to Have a High Protein Diet With Low Fat and Calories

High protein diets are vital in reducing visceral fat, in other words, the fat deep down that is harder to lose. The trick is to keep it low calorie and low in fat. With a little education about the different cuts of meat and other protein sources, you will be able to create the perfect high protein meal in no time at all.

There are many sources of protein besides meat such as beans, dairy, nuts, vegetables and even some baked whole grain items.

Vegetarians use tofu as a source of protein and meat substitute. The taste and texture can be challenging to get used to for those who prefer real meat.

There are a few tips to keep you on the right path.

• Choose nuts and high protein fruits as snacks. Almonds and avocados are both great choices. Stay away from salted, smoked or otherwise flavored nuts.


• Purchase lean cuts of meat, such as London broil. Anything with the words "round" or "loin" indicates a leaner cut of meat. Sirloins are better for you than a prime rib.


• Choose Turkey products. Turkey is a lean meat super food that is low in calories, low fat and a great alternative to red meat. Turkey is available in everything from ground meat to sausages.


• Eat more fish and chicken; both offer protein boost, as well as other great benefits.


• Include vegetables in every meal. Many people forget their vegetables and the much-needed nutrients to help balance out their diet. Stay away from carb-heavy vegetables, like corn.

With a little practice, you can create wonderful meals that are low calorie, low fat and protein rich.
