A 3oz serving of lean beef (about the size of a deck of cards) can provide you with 10 essential nutrients as well as 26g of protein for around 150 calories. For a cut of beef to be considered “lean” it must have:
- Less than 10 grams of total fat - 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat - Less than 95 mg of cholesterol Keep an eye out for the words “round” or “loin” in the name of a cut, as that’s a sign that it’s considered lean. Here are 4 popular lean beef options: 1) 95% (or higher) lean ground beef - versatile, lean, but still rich in flavor 2) Tenderloin steak (filet mignon) - the most tender of all steaks 3) Strip steak (top loin steak) - tender and a popular choice at restaurants or for grilling 4) Top Sirloin steak - a juicy cut that can be served as a steak or cubed for kabobs SOURCES: https://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/nutrition/lean-beef PHOTO: Photo by rawpixel on Unsplash
