Eating beef contributes to a healthy lifestyle by providing your body with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong.

• There's a common misperception that the majority of beef's fatty acids are saturated. In reality, foods that contain fats come in fatty acid packages containing various amounts of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. Same goes for beef.
• Compared to skinless chicken breast, there's only one more gram of saturated fat in an average 3 oz. (85g) serving of the six leanest beef cuts. In addition, there are seven more lean cuts that are lower in fat and saturated fat per 3 oz (85g). serving than a skinless chicken thigh. 
• Cheap cuts of meat are just as nutritious as expensive ones – just bear in mind that cheaper cuts are likely to take longer to prepare and cook to be as tender.
 
• A 3 oz. (85g) serving of lean beef contributes less than 10% of the calories in a 2,000-calorie diet.
• Not only does it taste good, beef is also a great way to fuel your body. Beef is a great contributor of protein, zinc and vitamin B12, number two of vitamin B6, and number three of iron and niacin.
• Heme iron, found only in beef and other meats, is more easily absorbed into the body than non-heme iron from plant-based sources.
• Additionally, a unique phenomenon known as the “meat factor” helps the body absorb non-heme iron more easily when meat is included in the same meal.
