8. Skinless White-Meat Poultry
Lean turkey and chicken are also great choices for high-protein, low-fat dieters. Skipping the skin and the dark meat cuts like drumsticks and thighs can save calories and fats. White meat includes the breast and breast tenderloins.
In one 100-gram serving of chicken or turkey breast there are 30 grams of protein. Making sure to leave out the skin can be an even bigger benefit to cut out fat without losing any protein.
