Chicken Breast
Try my marinated chicken breast recipe. This is a really versatile recipe that you can make in bulk and grill at the beginning of the week for easy meals throughout even the busiest of weeks.
Turkey Breast
You can purchase just a turkey breast at your local grocery store, roast it and enjoy it throughout the week. I prefer to cook mine on a rotisserie after rubbing it with a combination of poultry seasoning, Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb, garlic powder and sage.
Lean Ground Turkey
Mix lean ground turkey with spices (like the ones I use for a roasted turkey breast) and make single serving patties. Then grill them on a George Foreman grill and enjoy throughout the week.
Swordfish, Orange Roughy, Haddock, Salmon and Trout
Grill these with a bit of lemon juice and enjoy! Remember to use fresh fish within three days. Keeping it refrigerated and uncooked any longer will be pushing your luck.
Tuna
Try mixing this up with chopped celery and onion for some extra flavor.
Crab, Lobster, Shrimp
Skip the butter and just accent the natural flavor of these tasty seafoods with lemon juice.
Top Round Steak, Top Sirloin Steak
Grill these with your favorite steak rub or seasoning mix and enjoy.
Lean Ground Beef
Make up some patties or a meatloaf at the beginning of the week for easy meal preparation throughout the week.
Buffalo and Wild Game Meats
Buffalo and wild game meats are very lean meat so avoid pan frying them. They are best prepared in a meat loaf or seasoned and grilled.
Lean Ham
Ham is tasty, satisfying and convenient, especially when you bake a whole ham at the beginning of the week.
Egg Whites or Substitutes
Start your day with an omelet made of egg whites or egg substitute and fill it with ham, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and lowfat cheese.
Low-fat Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese travels well in a cooler and makes for a great snack or even a meal.
