What To Eat Of Poultry And Dairy Products In Low Fat Diet? Healthy Living Part 6
Poultry and dairy products are very good source for a low fat diet, if you know what to eat which we are going to describe it in this part of healthy living.
Poultry is low fat, high in protein and is a useful source of B vitamins. Chicken and turkey are excellent sources of animal proteins for low-fat, low-cholesterol content, provided lean poultry is used. The dark meat of poultry is higher in fat content than white meat. Skin should be discarded. Giblets are very high in fat content.
However, duck and goose are extremely high in fat and should not be included unless the fat is drained off and removed. Skinless duck and goose have?similar calorific and fat content than the equivalent skinless chicken.
Although the fat from chicken and turkey are much less quantitatively than that in meat, but is best drained off and removed in the same manner as in the preparation and cooking of all meats.
Eggs contain most of the recognised vitamins with the exception of vitamin C and most of the minerals that the human body requires for health. Egg whites, which are proteins, may be eaten and used for cooking as much as desired. But you should avoid egg yolk which contains one of the most concentrated forms of fat available?namely cholesterol.
Milk and dairy products are providers of?calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and protein which are all essential for healthy bone growth and development. One pint or more daily of non-fat or skim milk should be taken. Use fortified milk with added amounts of vitamin A and D, as now commonly in use. Buttermilk is also a refreshing source of milk with an exceedingly low-fat content.
Cheese protein is classified as a high quality protein as it provides good amounts of all the amino acids required by the body, from the diet, for correct function. But the majority of cheeses are very high in butterfat content and so cannot be used in the low-fat diet.
Nonetheless, some cheese like cottage cheese is one of the several important exceptions. It is a soft, fresh-curd variety of cheese that has been made from dry curd and non-fat milk, specified by federal law and must contain a minimum amount of butterfat to meet legal requirements. And it has long been popular with the dieting crowd.
One of the most frequent pitfalls in the use of cottage cheese is the user's failure to notice that often she is using or buying creamed cottage cheese, which of course does contain fat. This creamed cottage cheese can be corrected by washing it out with cold water through a strainer.
Various brands of cottage cheese that taste like creamed cottage cheese are available, such as "Slim Cheez" or Ricotta Cheese made from milk whey and a favourite of Italian cooks. Cheese spreads or dips made from non-fat or cottage cheeses are also widely used for low-fat menus. - 17269
