1. Leaner Meat. Use 10% lean ground beef instead of 20% lean and save 88 calories and 4g sat fat per serving.

2. Better Beans. Beans add bulk and fiber, but canned varieties may also add lots of sodium. Look for lower-sodium and organic varieties with less than 200mg per serving.

3. Go for Grains. Sub 1/2 pound cooked bulgur (about 1 1/4 cups) for 1/2 pound 10% lean ground beef to save 23g fat and boost fiber by 10g per batch.
