What types of meat are good for you and which ones are the bad ones?
i heard pork was kinda bad?
Answers:
Buffalo, venison, beefalo - those types of red meat tend to be very good for people looking for healthy alternatives to chicken and fish," explains Hirt. "If it runs, flies, or swims, it's typically about three% body fat, and those types of animals tend to be neutral depositories."
Farm factory beef, lamb, and pork usually have far greater animal fat content. Typical ground beef in supermarkets can contain anywhere from 4-25% fat. But even chicken can contain the same amount of animal fat as beef. "It's the chicken breast that is low fat," notes Hirt.
The way meat is prepared also influences its healthy or detrimental effect. "Barbequing tends to increase the carcinogenic effect," says Hirt. "You take good meat proteins, barbeque it at high temperatures, and you create bad ones."
Pork can be bad for you if it is not cooked properly. You would have to eat it in moderation since it is a bad one.
