Lean Protein 1 article

Lean protein refers to protein-rich foods that provide relatively little fat, particularly saturated fat, compared with fattier choices in the same general category. Skinless poultry breast, white fish, lean meat cuts and some lower-fat dairy foods are common examples, while beans, lentils, tofu and tempeh offer plant-based protein in a different food matrix. Lean does not mean fat-free, nor does it describe overall diet quality. The useful comparison is between protein source, fat content, preparation method and the rest of the meal.
