Thoughts on Veal??

[Matt76]

what are your thoughts on veal while on a cutting diet?? I picked up some ground veal for 3bux a pound.

I put some black pepper, salt and a tad bit of olive oil on both sides, and cooked it out on the grill and it was amazing.

Anyway what are your thoughts?

2g of fat for every 5g of protein?

not very good IMHO

 

[Matt76]

what should it be??

 

[goes4ever]

well I would want something leaner......the fat in meat is bad fat, saturated fat, the kind that clogs up your arteries

I would shoot for something that is 2-3g fat per 20-25g protein. no higher than that in fat.

If you want fat, use good sources like flax oil, almonds, fish oil etc

 

[Matt76]

aight then. i'll finish this batch off and not buy anymore. Damn it taste so good

Yea, good point G4E, but let's say he eats 1/2 lb a day... that's only 8 grams of saturated fats. and let's say he doesnt eat anything that high in either trans or saturated fats, I think that's perfectly fine.

That's why I have never bought it. I know it's supposed to taste amazing, but it IS unusually cruel what they do to those calves. I am in no way, one of these people who get all freaked out over cruelty to animals and that kinda shit, but this just really bothers me, so I choose not to eat it.
