I have an AWESOME cookbook with fat free recipes. All the recipes have 0 fat. But, some of them call for fat free meats, like fat free corned beef? Where the heck can I get that?

Any ideas???

No clue, you could find lean meat and deal with the few grams of fat in it...

or use veggie-meat.....
soy-based products taste very close to the real thing,
are often fat-free or very low fat,
contain soy protein
and are lower calorie than "the real thing"

good luck!

I've never ever been able to find fat-free meat--I'm not sure it exists. Even boneless skinless chicken breast has 5 grams of fat per pound.

However, you can get verrrrry low fat deli meats. Boar's head makes extremely low fat (97% fat free) corned beef & roast beef. If you're buying brisket at a meat market, ask your butcher to trim all the visible fat off of it and that'll reduce the fat a lot, although it'll never be "fat free".

Your cookbook must be rounding down the fat content!

They MUST be rounding it down. *sigh* I also have a Susan Powter cookbook and she calls for fat-free chicken breast tenders. I was like, "WHAT???" There is a fat-free chicken? Let me at him!!"

Well, thanks for the help! I will use the extra lean stuff and add the extra fat in!
