Nutritional Comparisons and the Upcoming Schedule

Yet another protein based informational post.

Many of my Weight Management Clients are having some trouble finding lean protein sources other than chicken, and turkey. They are looking for variety, so I thought maybe some others were looking too. And while I have posted several times on this subject I am going to post yet another, this one is from the National Bison Association and it shows a nutritional comparison of some cooked meats (100grams).

Buffalo 28 grams protein, 2.5 grams fat, 143 calories, 3.42 mg Iron
Beef (choice) 29 grams protein, 10 grams fat, 219 calories, 2.99 mg Iron
Beef (select) 29.5 grams protein, 8 grams fat, 201 calories, 2.99 mg Iron
Pork 29.5 grams protein, 9.5 grams fat, 212 calories, 1.1 mg Iron
Chicken (skinless) 29 grams protein, 7.5 grams fat, 190 calories, 1.21 mg Iron
Sockeye Salmon 27 grams protein, 11 grams fat, 216 calories, .55 mg Iron

Clearly Buffalo is much leaner than any of the other selections above. If you haven't had buffalo meat before it tastes very lean and is a great supplemen to your nutritional plan as a protein source without sacrificing too much fat.
