Deconstructing 70% Lean Hamburger
Putting aside for the moment the cost ratio of say 85% or 90% lean
hamburger vs 70% lean or what I refer to as "cheap meat" and taste after cooking and grinding your own I am interested if anyone knows what or approx. what is the fat content of the 70% lean meat after cooking. I fry up an 8oz patty of 70% hamburger meat and cook it well done. 5 minutes on one side and drain the fat and about 4 or five minutes on the other side and drain the fat and then pat down the patty with paper towels ( still lots of fat comes off on the towels ) and then eat it. Obviously the 8oz that I started out with has shrunk but my question is does anyone have any idea what I am left with regarding fat content vs a leaner grade of hamburger. Thanks. |

The USDA food site only has down to 75% lean ground beef, but they have counts for weighing the beef raw or after its cooked. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) 350/299/Apr-299/200 Atkins since Jan 12, 2004 OWL-50 carbs/day (CCLL=?) |

Deconstructing 70% Lean Hamburger
Fat is the key best appetite suppressor. Fat is good. You are pouring off
the best part. Isn't it wonderful that the best, fattiest ground beef is the cheapest! Cubit 308/255/165 wrote in message ...

Did you mean to post this in alt.support.diet.low-fat? Or are you new to low-carb? I know there are a lot of people that have trouble changing their thinking that fat is bad from their old, ingrained low-fat diet days. snip No, I meant to post here. Are you implying that only people on Atkins are welcome here. I am a fan of low carb but I am not a fan of excess fat in my diet particularly the saturated/ trans fats that I believe are so prevalent in Atkins or at least was at one point. If I were to choose between Atkins and SBD I would choose the latter though I am currently on neither. |

I know there are a lot of people that have trouble changing their thinking that fat is bad from their old, ingrained low-fat diet days. snip No, I meant to post here. Are you implying that only people on Atkins are welcome here. Where did he even mention Atkins? This lowcarb group is for all types of lowcarb plans, most of which do not eschew fat. Avoidance of fat leaves protien as your major source of calories, too much of which can cause problems. His statement about people finding it hard to drop the 'fat is bad' meme is correct. We see a lot of those kinds of posts, and your's looked on the face of it like another. I am a fan of low carb but I am not a fan of excess fat in my diet particularly the saturated/ trans fats that I believe are so prevalent in Atkins or at least was at one point. Followed correctly, sat fat is at most 20% percent of all fats ingested, trans fats are minimal in animal foods and otherwise avoided like the plague, well within 'healthy' ranges. So your belief is wrong. The standard definition of lowcarb assumes high fat, not high protien and Pete's questions were perfectly reasonable in this context. -- revek www.geocities.com/tanirevek/LowCarb.html lowcarbing since June 2002 5'2" 41 F 165+/too much/size seven petite please Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win. -- Zhuge Liang |

Please stop telling me what I think. since to my knowledge the FDA hasn't issued a standard definition for low carb, food groups or otherwise. Since when do you have to have the FDA define words? A perusal of the literature on the subject, rather than the mainstream sound bites, would lead to that common sense deduction-- either increased fat or increased protien to make up the required calories, and increased protien beyond a certain point is not good. That's logic. All I was asking about was hamburger. He asked a valid question. Where did he even mention Atkins? I do not believe he had to mention Atkins by name and for all I know he may be on a fruit diet but I believe you would have to be a pop tart not to get what was implied. You must be one then. He was talking about lowcarb. That he meant Atkins and only Atkins is purely your assumption. Here is what I have eaten for the last 5 days. I believe that I am getting plenty of fat in my low carb diet. Ok, whatever. Nobody is saying you aren't getting enough fat. What I took issue with was your assumption that Atkins must be high saturated fat, and the implication that ONLY Atkins does high fat or high sat fat, and that Pete was talking about Atkins specifically. He was not. -- revek www.geocities.com/tanirevek/LowCarb.html lowcarbing since June 2002 5'2" 41 F 165+/too much/size seven petite please "If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?" |
