Beef Please

Believe it or not, beef may be a part of a healthy & even low-fat diet.

All you need to do is follow these golden rules:

• choose lean cuts like tenderloin, flank, sirloin and round cuts
• eat small portions, the ideal portion size is a deck of cards or the palm of your hand
• trim all visible fat before cooking as it may reduce by almost 20% the fat content of your meat without removing any of its nutrients
• avoid frying
• choose fatty cuts less frequently.

While shopping

When shopping look for cuts with little marbling. Fresh beef, by the way, has creamy white and not yellow fat marbling.

Essential nutrients

Beef is an excellent source of iron, zinc, vitamin B12 and high quality protein.
