20 Fat-Burning Secrets of The Grill

#7: Read meat nutrition labels

The USDA recently imposed a law requiring grocers to display nutrition information on 40 of the most common meat cuts, including all ground meat and poultry products. This is good news. An 8-ounce rib eye, raw, could easily have more than 550 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat, but you'd never know before the USDA's ruling. Now you can see with a glance that by switching to round steak, the caloric damage dips to about 375 calories with only 7 grams of saturated fat. Those numbers vary from steak to steak though, so take advantage by scrutinizing meat labels before any purchase.
