Cooking tips for making your dinner healthier

Choose lean cuts of meat and trim off all the visible fat. The cuts that are naturally lean (and the most tender) are the fillet and loin cuts of red meat, and the breast meat of chicken and turkey. Leg meat from pork, lamb and beef also tends to be quite lean once the exterior fat is trimmed away.
Remove the skin from poultry. Skinless chicken and turkey breast are ZeroPoint™ foods so are great options to including in your evening meal.
Use non-stick pans for cooking (a quick spray of oil spray or 1–2 teaspoons liquid oil is usually enough to stop food from sticking). If cooking pieces of meat, such as steaks or cutlets, brush the meat with oil rather than the pan.
Use olive, canola or sunflower oil for most cooking needs – they have the same SmartPoints® as other oils but contain more antioxidants.
Include flaxseed oil in dressings for extra omega-3 fatty acids.
If stir-fried vegetables are sticking to the wok, add a little water or reduced-salt stock instead of more oil. This will create steam to cook the veggies faster without burning them.
Use a steamer or microwave to cook vegetables as it retains more nutrients.
Choose reduced-salt and no-added-sugar products whenever you can.
