In my last post, I shared what constituted the A-list of vegetables. Here are your choices for lean proteins.
Fish: Anchovy, Bass, Catfish, Cod, Grouper, Haddock, Halibut, Hake, Mahi-Mahi, Monk, Pike, Perch, Red Snapper, Redfish, Sea Bass, Shark, Smelt, Sole, Sword, Tilapia, Tuna, Trout, Turbot, Whiting, Walleye, and Wild Salmon.
Seafood: Crab, Crawfish, Clams, Lobster, Mussels, Oysters, Shrimp, Scampi, Scallops, and Squid.
Beef: Flank, Extra-Lean Ground Beef, Kidney, Liver, Rump, Roast, Sirloin, Round, Tournedos, and Tenderloin.
Poultry: Skinless Chicken, Quail, Ostrich, Turkey, Whole Eggs (x2).
Pork: Non-fat Ham, Tenderloin
Other: Bison, Deer, Elk, Frog, and Rabbit.
From the list, I've stuck to 3 choices that are all readily available at the Costco in the frozen foods case. Look for the pre-portioned, individually sealed chicken breast, mahi-mahi fillets, and lean cooked ham deli meat. The chicken runs you about $16 for a 6.5 pound bag. The fish is a bit more expensive at $13 for 2.5 pounds, and the ham $10 for 3 pounds. The choices give me the variety I need without breaking the bank.
