How to Grill Chicken Breasts for a Healthy Meal

Chicken is one of first choices for both grilling and health conscious meals. If properly prepared, chicken breasts are high in protein and low in fat. The key words here are “properly prepared”. If chicken isn’t properly cooked it can be a source of food borne illness. Some other considerations when grilling chicken breasts are whether to leave the skin on or remove it and whether or not to choose an organic product. Removing the skin cuts down on most of the fat present in a chicken breast, but it makes the meat more vulnerable to the heat. For the purposes of this recipe we are assuming the skin has been removed. Organic chicken has been raised with no steroids, antibiotics, or other unwanted chemicals used in the process.

Healthy Snacking

Healthy snacking can actually be advantageous to your health and weight loss plans. That snack attack can often be your body telling you that its hungry. At that point its a good thing to have a light snack than to wait until the appropriate time, such as lunch or dinner, when youre extremely hungry and more likely to overeat.

What constitutes a healthy breakfast?

Your sample breakfast might look a little like this: one ¾ cup serving of a wholegrain cereal such as All Bran, rolled oats, or 2 Weetbix with skim or low fat milk, followed by a hard boiled egg and an orange or apple. Try to steer clear of cereals with a high sugar content (i.e. some toasted muesli’s), syrupy based fruits, pastries and white breads, instead opt for wholegrain, rye or sourdough type breads. These are not only lower in kilojoules but have a low GI factor as well, which means that they satiate your hunger for longer.
