Red meat!

There are so many people who will tell you red meat needs to be out of your diet to be healthy and to be fit, these people are wrong. Red meat has many health benefits but with those benefits red meat has it's risks. When selecting your meat at the grocery store be aware or which cut is the right one for you. Yes every now and then I like to go out to dinner and buy a nice big ribeye at a local steak house. But when I am eating on more of a strict clean diet the best cut is from the back of the cow called the round cut. This cut has the lowest amount of fat in it compared to the others and is also the lowest in price. For 3.5 ounces of this cut you are looking at about 8 grams of fat and 25 grams of protein which is great about 2-3 times a week depending on your activity level. Red meat benefit wise is a good source or protein, zinc, iron and B vitamins. Risk wise if eaten on an everyday basis, first off will be the weight gain in fat, aslo it has been known if consumed too much can lead to bowel cancer, osteoporosis, breast cancer, alzheimers disease and ofcourse raise cholesterol. So guys eat your red meat but eat it in moderation, enjoying the health benefits and avoiding the risks!
