Whether or not a patient with gallstones can eat lean meat depends on the state of the gallstones. In the absence of symptomatic attacks, patients can eat lean meat in moderation. Lean meat contains mainly protein and is relatively low in fat, which generally does not cause acute attacks of gallstones. However, if there are already mild symptoms or even more severe symptoms, it is not recommended to eat lean meat at this time. Patients are advised to eat a light diet, such as thin porridge and rice soup, and then eat a small amount of lean meat after the symptoms have subsided. When choosing lean meat for gallstone patients, it is recommended to try to choose lean meat or chicken breast with low fat content, animal offal, pork ribs and other lean meat with high fat content should be avoided. If you choose meat with packaging, you need to pay attention to the fat and cholesterol content is too high. The fat content can vary greatly with different cooking methods. Cooking methods such as deep-frying and stir-frying usually increase the fat content in meat and even induce acute attacks of gallstones, so try to choose cooking methods such as steaming and boiling.
