NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF BEEF
Consumers can feel good about loving beef because the protein in beef
is a powerful nutrient that helps strengthen and sustain their bodies. High
quality proteins, like beef, promote optimal health and provide consumers
with a naturally nutrient-rich package. The nutrients in lean beef, such as
protein, iron and zinc, help people feel satisfied longer and get more nutrition
from their calories without sacrificing taste.
THE LEAN BEEF CUTS
The top choices for lean beef cuts are
Round, Loin and Chuck. Remember
their names, and it will be easy to
direct consumers toward the top
beef cuts that meet the government
labeling guidelines for lean.
The 1990 National Labeling
and Education Act definition
of “Lean” is:
“Lean” is less than 10 grams
of total fat, 4.5 grams or less
of saturated fat and less
than 95 milligrams of
cholesterol per serving*
and per 100 grams.
*85 grams = 3-ounce cooked portion
