Grilled meats are a popular dish across many cuisines, from American barbecue to Korean BBQ and Mediterranean kebabs. Typically prepared by cooking over open flame or high heat, they include proteins such as chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and fish. This cooking method helps lock in flavors while creating a smoky, charred crust. Grilled meats are rich in protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and often contain vital micronutrients like iron and zinc. Lean cuts, such as chicken breast or fish, can be a healthy choice, as they are lower in saturated fats compared to fattier meats. However, excessive charring or exposure to high heat can form compounds like HCAs and PAHs, which may pose health risks if consumed frequently. Pairing grilled meats with vegetables and whole grains creates a balanced meal while moderating portion sizes and char levels ensures better nutritional outcomes.
