- Cooking on the Grill Means You're Cooking Low Fat

NOT NECESSARILY: Just because you're grilling your food vs. using other cooking methods, doesn't necessarily mean you're cooking "low fat." It is realy all about the types of foods you choose. Yes, the fat does drip away from the food via the grilling method, but for truly low fat meals, you need to choose low fat foods. For example; chicken and fish have less fat than red meat. However, if you decide to cook red meat on the grill, it will have less fat when grilled vs. when cooked in the oven, where the meat can be sitting in it's own fat.
