Nutrition for: Chicken, Pork or Beef |
Our bodies need protein. But where do we get healthy protein that is not too fat? Typically, two-legged animals are lower in fat than four-footed. Let's see.
Two-legged animals:
The chicken has two legs and is safe to eat. Turkey also has two legs and is one of the healthiest meat. It is low in fat and can be in the diet.
Tips: It can remove the skin to reduce cholesterol. Breast part is healthier. Reduce the use of gravy. In the way of cooking, baking and grilling are healthier.
Four-legged animals:
Pork and beef are higher in saturated fat. The pig has four legs and is rich in fat, such as pork chop and roasted suckling pig skin.
The cow is also high in fat. T-bone steaks and rib-eye steaks have a lot of fat, compared to the "sirloin" and "round" beef portions.
Tips: In pork, fat is separated from the flesh so it is quickly removed. In the case of fat, the fat in the middle of the flesh is hard to remove.
More advice:
You can eat meat from four-legged animals (pigs, cows), but only do it 1 or 2 times a week. The chicken can be eaten more often.
If you have heart disease, high cholesterol or have a stroke, choose meat from a two-legged animal instead of four-legged.
But if you really want to be the healthiest, just choose the animal with no feet and has scales. Of course, these are fish, such as sardines, tilapia and milk-fish that are Omega 3 fillers, so-called good fats.
