Summer is a great time to enjoy delicious and nutritious meals that support your fat loss goals. One classic summer dish that fits the bill is a steak with a baked potato.
Opt for lean cuts of steak like sirloin or flank steak. Trim any visible fat before cooking to reduce calorie and fat content.
Cook the steak using a healthy method like grilling or broiling to minimize added fats. Avoid frying or excessive use of oil.
Use herbs, spices, and marinades to add flavor without adding extra calories. Avoid heavy sauces or butter-based toppings.
Choose a small to medium-sized potato for portion control. Baked potatoes are a good source of fiber and nutrients when eaten in moderation.
Instead of loading your baked potato with high-fat toppings like sour cream and butter, try topping it with Greek yogurt, salsa, or a sprinkle of cheese.
Complete your meal with a side of grilled or steamed vegetables. They add volume and nutrients without many calories.
