How healthy is beef?

Ground beef can be just as low, if not lower, in fat and calories, and higher in many micronutrients, than the common poultry alternative.

Type of Meat / Serving Size / Grams of total fat / Calories

• Ground Turkey 3 oz. 11 / 200
• Grd. Beef 95/5 3 oz. 5 / 139
• Grd. Beef 90/10 3 oz. 9 / 173
• Grd. Beef 85/15 3 oz. 11 / 200

Ground beef, even the leanest grade, is full of essential nutrients. A 3 oz. serving of ground beef provides zinc, iron, protien, and vitamins B6 & B12, slenium and phosphorus.
