My #1 BBQ hack for this upcoming summer season:
One of the most common themes of working with my clients is their struggle to keep their calories low while hitting their protein goal.
Because of this, I recommend buying ground meat that is 90/10 or above. The first number (90) represents the leanness, while the second number (10) represents the fat content.
A lot of people complain that lean meat doesn’t taste as good as the fattier meat – this is most likely due to it’s dryness. To offset this, I add mushrooms and onions to my lean ground meat to bring moisture and tenderness back.
Saturated fat can have adverse effects to LDL and Apolipoprotein B which is linked to heart disease. So when you’re eating a lot of animal protein, you want to opt for leaner sources.
This is a simple addition to help hit your protein goal, keep calories lower, and get that taste you’re used to with fattier meat.
