We all have our dieting vices, and since one of the worst things you can do is deprive yourself completely (inevitably leads to binging later!) learning to indulge responsibly is key. Red meat is high in cholesterol and saturated fat, but like anything some types are worse than others. If red meat is something you find yourself craving in now and then do you know what the leanest and healthiest options are?

The best: Bison

The leanest of the lean, bison even has less fat and calories than skinless light meat chicken

Beef
The leanest healthiest cuts are loin or rounds cuts (beef bottom sirloin)

Pork
Leg cuts, like ham or lion (boneless sirloin pork chops or top loin chops), are your best bets

Lamb
Cuts from the shank half of the leg (you may need to ask your butcher) have significantly less fat and calories
