    You bet. Compare a broiled skinless chicken breast to a broiled sirloin steak, with the fat trimmed to nearly nothing (a mere 1/8 inch): Ounce for ounce, the steak has a little less protein, about a third more calories, and four times as much fat, half of it saturated. Go chicken! Not only is it waist- and heart-friendly, but eating a low-fat diet -- and when you do eat fat, eating healthful unsaturated fats (nuts, avocadoes, olive oil) -- can make your RealAge as much as 6 years younger.
