If you are eating meat, then go for the leanest cuts to reduce fat dripping onto the coals, and try some grilled veggies as a side dish and fruit as dessert - the antioxidants can help fight carcinogens. Marinating is a perfect way to infuse flavor into meats, and it can reduce the formation of HCAs by up to 99 percent. Don't baste meats in the liquid in which they marinated - this can pass on bacteria. Instead, set aside marinade for basting before adding the meat.

Cut down on your grilling time, and flip early and often to prevent HCAs from forming on hamburger patties. Try kebabs with smaller pieces of meat to cut cooking time and include those valuable veggies.
