Lamb can be pretty fatty, but if you trim off as much of it as you can, you’ll keep the fat intake down as you keep the carbs down as well. Lamb is also very tasty and makes a great alternative to beef.

“The other white meat” is fattier than chicken is, but it’s still a great choice for its taste and affordability. To really reduce fa intake, buy leaner cuts such as loin and tenderloin.
Turkey

Turkey is inexpensive, and it’s heartier than chicken. It’s drier than beef, but many people have turned to ground turkey for burgers, pasta dishes, and chili because it’s so low in fat compared to beef.

Shrimp is really popular because it tastes so good, and even though it’s not cheap, it tends to cost a lot less than crab and lobster do. It’s also really versatile and pairs really well with foods like beef for a nice surf and turf.
Shellfish

Shrimp are technically considered shellfish, but here we mean shellfish like clams, mussels, and oysters. Most people eat them steamed, baked, or sauteed, but raw oysters are still wildly popular and super tasty.
Tuna

Inexpensive and versatile, tomatoes are an easy, healthy addition to so many meals. Tip: don’t store unripened tomatoes in the fridge; the cold air slows the ripening process, and they might go bad before they fully ripen.
Oranges

Raspberries and other berries are excellent snacks, and they store well in the freezer if you’re worried they’ll spoil before you can finish them. They also make a healthy, delicious topping for the next item on this list.
Greek Yogurt

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate tends to have fewer carbs and less fat than milk chocolate does. Buy it with at least 70% cocoa in it; this lowers the amount of sugar in it.
