Solution
To reduce fat intake, the following options are applicable:
Choose lean meats: This is correct. Lean meats have less fat compared to fatty cuts, which helps in reducing overall fat intake.
Trim fat: This is correct. Trimming visible fat from meats before cooking can significantly reduce the amount of fat consumed.
Steam meats: This is correct. Steaming is a cooking method that does not require added fats, making it a healthier option for reducing fat intake.
Explanation for the incorrect option:
Use drippings from the pan to make sauces and gravies: This is incorrect. Drippings often contain a high amount of fat, and using them to make sauces and gravies can increase fat intake.
In summary, the correct actions to reduce fat intake are choosing lean meats, trimming fat, and steaming meats.
