Lean meat????

Gainer101 · 09-06-2006, 08:28 PM

I told my mother to buy me some lean meat, and she did but she bought a bunch of hambuger meat with (80% Lean, 20% Fat)..

Would the 80% Lean, 20% Fat meat be good to eat if iam trying to lose some weight...

Not really... get bonless skinless chicken breasts...

20% is pretty high.. either get the chicken breasts, or atleast 90% lean hamburger

I would go and cook the meat and rinse with cold water in a colender. I wouldn't let it go to waste. If you have to, go to the store with her next time. I ususally get the diet burger which is about 90 to 95 percent lean, but it cost more also. A little fat won't hurt every so often, your allowed a cheat day when it comes to diet.

you'll be alright, just dont make a habbit of it. like bubba G said go with chicken
they have up to 95% lean in most grociery stores or use lean ground turkey

bump to the cooking, draining, then washing.

You can get it pretty lean that way.

I eat alot of chicken breast,, just i want to add a different meat so i would not get tired of eating chicken breast all the time...

After i cooked any kind of hambuger, i always drain the gress from the meat, i make patty's then get a wad of paper towels and sqweez untill no more gress comes out of the patty, but ill try washing in cold water too.. cuase it would be a waste of meat...

thxz for the replys every one....

yeah. It suck when you do that though (I find), because I really am not sure how many kcals I've consumed. I try not to worry about it... being as I don't really count anyway.
