Let's get grilling!! For maximum health benefits, focus your grilling on lean proteins, colorful vegetables, and fruit, and pair them with lighter marinades and whole‑grain sides. Lean proteins These give you high‑quality protein with less saturated fat and work well with simple, heart‑healthy marinades. Skinless chicken breast or thighs (trimmed of visible fat). Turkey cutlets or turkey burgers made from lean ground turkey. Fish like salmon, trout, tuna, or cod, plus shrimp or other seafood skewers. Lean beef or pork (sirloin, tenderloin, 90–93% lean burgers). Plant proteins such as homemade veggie burgers, tofu, or tempeh brushed with olive oil and
