Dr. Shen Yonghua
Common high-protein, low-fat foods:
1. Chicken breast: Chicken breast is an excellent source of protein while being relatively low in fat. Avoid using excessive oil during cooking to maintain its low-fat properties.
2. Fish: Such as salmon, cod, and sea bass. These fish are not only rich in high-quality protein but also contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.
3. Tofu and soy products: Soy products such as tofu and soy milk are relatively low in fat, especially those made from non-genetically modified soybeans.
4. Egg whites: Egg whites are composed almost entirely of protein and contain virtually no fat.
5. Low-fat dairy products: Such as skim milk and Greek yogurt. These provide abundant protein and calcium, with significantly less fat than their full-fat counterparts.
6. Lean beef: Choosing lean cuts, such as tenderloin, provides high-quality protein while reducing intake of saturated fat.
In addition, pay attention to moderate consumption to avoid nutritional imbalance caused by excessive intake.
