Only one more gram

ONLY ONE MORE GRAM OF SATURATED FAT THAN A SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST?  It's like finding out that chocolate brownies are as healthy as carrots.

Not only that, but lean beef has six times more zinc, three times more iron and eight times more vitamin B12 than a skinless chicken breast.  It just doesn't seem fair.

Based on USDA data using the average of 3 oz. cooked servings of eye round roast, top round steak, top sirloin steak, boneless shoulder pot roast, round tip roast and shoulder steak compared to  3 oz. cooked servings of boneless, skinless chicken breast.  Funded by America's beef producers.

Lean beef is nearly as lean as chicken

LEAN BEEF IS NEARLY AS LEAN AS CHICKEN.  BET THAT REALLY FRUSTRATES CHICKENS, AFTER ALL THE RUNNING AROUND THEY DO.

It may be surprising, but lean beef has only  one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast.  And six times more zinc, three times more iron and eight times more vitamin B12.  Go figure.

Based on USDA data using the average of 3 oz. cooked servings of eye round roast, top round steak, top sirloin steak, boneless shoulder pot roast, round tip roast and shoulder steak compared to  3 oz. cooked servings of boneless, skinless chicken breast.  Funded by America's beef producers.

So it evens out

ONE MORE GRAM OF SATURATED FAT THAN A CHICKEN BREAST.  BUT A STEAK KNIFE IS HEAVY, SO IT EVENS OUT.

Compared to a skinless chicken breast, lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat.  And six times more zinc, three times more iron and eight times more vitamin B12.  Just something to think about.

Based on USDA data using the average of 3 oz. cooked servings of eye round roast, top round steak, top sirloin steak, boneless shoulder pot roast, round tip roast and shoulder steak compared to  3 oz. cooked servings of boneless, skinless chicken breast.  Funded by America's beef producers.
