How does eating stuff like meat make you healthy??

[bobsmith1492]

Just shoot some venison for yourself; it's got no fat (when it does, you can tell because it leaves a nasty residue in your mouth).

Meat over 50% fat? OP: wtf?


If i buy a piece of kangaroo (which is superb meat), over 50% of it certainly isn't fat :roll:

Here's some meat comparisons for ya:

EDIT: i kinda see you point reading later posts, but you're still wrong. As has been pointed out by many people, fats are an extremely important part of a balanced diet, and taking average values for fat and protein, nowhere near half is fat in those examples above.

There was a nationwide IQ test administered through a TV show a few months back in Canada. Interestingly, while the average in Canada was 110, the average for vegans was 103.

P.S. They also had teams of 36. The surgeons got 119, and the celebrities got 98. The highest celebrity was Kumar's brother.

How can the total average for an IQ test be greater than 100?

Doesn't cooking cause most of the fat to melt away? Unless you're frying it, in which case you keep most of the fat. But if you bake it, that should get rid of a fair amount of fat.

Chicken and Turket do not have 50% fat.

Don't worry, just ignore him and he'll go away

I guess this thread explains why you've been lifting for 8 years and have almost nothing to show for it.

Probably because, as mentioned, it was administered through a TV show.

Edit: and with all the turkey/chicken I've eaten, I have yet to see any with nutritional values similar to those listed by the OP. Generally, if you're looking at overall numbers, the fat/sat. fat is somewhere around 5%

I found this table that gives a good list of fat content of different foods.

To answer the OP's question. Yes, most meat has more fat than most other kinds of foods, for example grains. Yes, almost everything I have read about nutrition has promoted a low fat diet.

If you are looking to increase your muscle mass, the relatively high protein content of most meats and sea food make it an positive option to achieve your goal. There are types of meat and fish that have relatively low fat content. Other options are soy and milk protein isolates that are 80% to 90% protein. You can get these protein products in stores like Whole Foods and in the health food section in the larger mainstream grocery stores.

Um, if he's lifting he'll want to stay away from soy. Boosting estrogen levels is not a good thing when you're trying to gain muscle mass.
