The next time you're shopping in the meat aisle, use these guidelines from the American Heart Association to choose lean varieties:
Beef: Sirloin, chuck, loin and round are leanest. Pick "choice" or "select" over "prime."
Pork: Choose loin chops or tenderloin.
Poultry: Select turkey and chicken over duck or goose to cut fat.
Avoid sweetbreads, liver and other organ meats, which are high in cholesterol.
