It's important to make low-fat choices in general. In the case of beans and meats, the low-fat bean choices aren't as important because the beans have lots of fiber. The key is to combine low-fat choices with lots of soluble and insoluble fiber in order to properly metabolize the fat consumed.

Most lean meats, lean fish, and wild game have high amounts of potassium. Grains without the bran (i.e., not whole grain) are low in potassium. All legumes are high potassium foods -- kidney beans, lentils, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), black beans, pinto beans are high potassium foods. Fresh foods are best. Some dried fruits are good sources -- raisins, dried apricots. Canned foods may be okay if not high in sodium, which is a frequent component of food preservatives use in canned foods. When cooking high potassium foods, steaming or broiling or microwaving is the best way to prepare the food. Boiling draws the potassium out of the food into the water. If the food is boiled, the water should be consumed to get the potassium into your body.
