Meat...not possible?

tarab21 Posts: 508 Joined: 2003/03/31	2003/04/12, 09:18 PM I've been trying to incorporate more meat into my diet lately because of the protein value. now I'm talking a ton of meat, just maybe 6 ounces a day..and always something healthy and lean like white fish, salmon, or chicken. The problem is, the second I do that, I sky rocket above my fat consumption goal and I STILL haven't eaten enough protein. At that point, I usually want to stop eating because I've already consumed so dang much fat. Should I not eat meat ??

My dad hunts and got me some, just read the info on it... it's mostly protein... 1 pound of it will get you over 120 grams of protein! And the fat is so low... I think for 1 pound of moose meat there's like 5-7 grams of fat, which is amazing. Sirloin steak (top round is good) has a ton of protein as well. I have no problem getting my recommended protein per day if I eat moose or steak plus protein supplements and some tuna.

Also, how much fat are you allowing yourself? You know that you do need some fat? It is recommended that around 30% of your calories come from fat - mostly the good fats. When I'm preparing for comps, I actually take in additional fat in the form of oils to up the fat in my diet. This helps me shed more weight. -------------- For tasty nutritious bodybuilding recipes check out Muscle Menus CLICK HERE http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/ebook.asp

Try trimming of the fat before cooking it or go for the pure chicken breasts and whynot stir fry some vegetables using a little olive oil - this will give you some good unsaturated fat which helps fight bad fat! Hope this helps!

Maybe the rest of your diet is what needs some attention. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

Use the Harris-Benedict formula for total calories and then split them. Look for my posts here about it. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
