Chapter 28: Meat, Poultry, and Fish

Chapter Summaries

Meat, poultry, and fish offer high-quality protein, along with B vitamins, iron, zinc, and some other nutrients. Poultry and fish have less saturated fat than red meat. Choose mostly lean protein foods, vary your choices, and consume sensible amounts. Plan ahead and shop wisely to make the best meat, poultry, and fish choices for your nutrition needs, budget, and recipe. Consider the retail cut, its tenderness, and its planned use. Store and prepare meat, poultry, and fish properly to ensure quality, good taste, and food safety.
