i’m likin these comments! glad to know people here are “in the know”
animal fat from grassfed animals is damn healthy…do you really think we humans spent 2 million years of our evolution eating meat and fat, and then that suddenly turns out to be bad for us??
gimme a break…not only is there tons of science proving saturated fat isn’t unhealthy, but sheer logic should tell you so..
and if people eat less fat “to eat fewer calories” they simply eat more carbs leading to weight gain and metabolic disease
carbs drive insulin drives fat

just because you have a dietician in your family doesn’t make you one. they dont know anything anyway. learning government regulated food pryimd schme ha! Kids adults elderly it doesnt matter everyone needs to follow there metabolic type! when your an adult does that mean you stop growing? im a protien type. which means a diet high in fruits and veggies and whole grain actually gets store as body fat because my body cannot convert carbs to fuel correctly. so a high fat high protein diet is perfect for me. it doesnt matter if your active or not if you eat the foods right for you metabolic type you wont gain weight, illness will subside,depression,fatigue,weight gain etc. o and a increase or excess body fat is a symptom of starvation. no its not you say. look at the starving africans or a 3rd wold country. why do they have big tummys. because there starving and what food they do eat is stored for survival. or in america ppl eat fast food all the time. or follow dieticians advice.

The fat or marbling in beef is good as long as the cattle is fed a natural grass diet and isn’t given hormones and antibiotics.

Kelsey, meat with a high content of fat wouldn’t necessarily be bad for your diet, but most Americans do not get adequate exercise to work off access fat and calories in their daily diets. So, that is why the American Heart Association advocates eating lean cuts of meat. Lean meat is just as healthy as the “fat” kind. As for the breast milk comment, infants need a little more fat in their diets as they develop. But as adults, a daily diet of fruits, veggies, whole grains, dairy and lean protein are all the typical adult needs. By the way, this comment is coming from someone who has a certified dietician in her family.

I’d check your data. There’s no way filet mignon has the highest fat content. It’s the leanest of all the standard steak cuts. It’s significantly leaner than the top loin (NY strip), and a t-bone is about 2/3 top loin and 1/3 fillet.

So there’s no way a fillet would be fattier than a t-bone.

In fact, it’s the leanness of fillet mignon that puts it close to the bottom of the list for most chefs. Unless you can find a well marbled, prime, dry aged sample, it just doesn’t have much flavor.

The fattiest cuts of meat are the healthiest. Animal fat isn’t bad for you, that is the biggest myth in the history of time. Breast milk for instance has a 55% fat content, with half of that coming from saturated fat. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, american heart association…

There’s really nothing wrong with a 50/50 protein/fat ratio. I actually feel better when my diet has a higher fat content. It’s sugar that gets me..
