GOOD FOR YOU
Red meat and a balanced diet
No single food contains all the nutrients we need, so it’s important to eat a wide variety of foods. Lean red meat can play an important part in a healthy, balanced diet, because it packs a lot of nutrients into a relatively small amount of food.
- Protein: meat is a good source of protein, which helps you feel fuller for longer.
- Iron: the haem iron in red meat is more easily absorbed by the body than the iron in plant foods.
- Zinc: red meat is a good source of zinc, which helps the immune system to work. We get about 30% of our zinc from red meat and meat products.
- Vitamins: red meat is a significant source of B vitamins, including B12, which isn’t found naturally in plant foods.
- Less fat than you’d think: red meat is far lower in fat than it was 20 years ago. On average, fully trimmed raw lean beef contains just 5% fat, and lean lamb 8%, thanks to farm breeding and modern butchery that trims most of it off.
- Salt: fresh meat is naturally low in salt.
