"food nd drink" news and stories

It's Spring, though you wouldn't know it from some of the weather we've been having around the globe. However, that still means that in just a few short weeks, gone will be our comfortable, heavy layers of thick sweaters, sweatshirts, and well, "fat" pants. We can't hide under our clothes for too much longer.

But that certainly doesn't mean that we all have to be eating salads for three meals a day. If you love beef, just stick to some of the leaner cuts, which are good for your very svelte future-self, and your heart, too. Per a 3oz. serving, here are the cuts with their fat and saturate fat content:

1. Eye round - 4 g fat, 1.4 g saturated fat
2. Top round steak - 4.6 g fat, 1.6 g saturated fat
3. Bottom round roast - 4.9 g fat, 1.7 g saturated fat
4. Top sirloin - 4.9 g fat, 1.9 g saturated fat
5. Round tip roast - 5 g fat, 1.8 g saturated fat
6. 95% lean ground beef - 5 g fat, 2.4 g saturated fat
7. Brisket - 5.1 g fat, 1.9 g saturated fat
8. Shank cross-cut - 5.4 g fat, 1.9 g saturated fat
