Meat from grass fed cows, sheep, and bison is lower in total fat. it can have one third as much fat as a similar cut from a grain fed beef. In fact the amount of fat is only slightly higher than that found in a skinless chicken breast.
Not only is there less bad fat in grass fed beef, there is more good fat in grass fed beef.
Omega 3 fatty acids are what is now called good fats. Grass fed beef has more Omega-3 fatty acids than its grain fed counterpart.
Omega-3s are formed in the chloroplasts of green leaves and algae. Sixty percent of the fatty acids in grass are omega-3s. Cows and other grazing animals and birds who eat grass get their boosted omega-3 fatty acids and then pass them on to us when we consume the grass fed beef.
Omega -3 fatty acids may play a role in lowered heart disease, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat , cancer and obesity.
Unfortunately, only about 40% of Americans consume enough Omega-3. Higher Omega-3’s is a really important grass fed beef benefit.
Because there is less fat in grass fed beef, there are less calories. Fat has 9 calories per gram, compared with only 4 calories for protein and carbohydrates. The greater the fat content, the greater the number of calories. Therefore a 12-ounce steak from a grass finished animal can have 200 fewer calories than a 12 ounce steak from a grain fed animal.
Think about all the meat you eat and how many calories you could save over an entire year.
