A very common question for new Kimkins members is why I discourage ground beef?
The simple answer is the astronomical calories! Deceptive labeling would lead us to believe that a package of ground beef labeled at 10% fat really is 10% fat, right? Nope.
See the label below and do the math (sorry for the quality):
A 3 oz cooked portion of 10% ground beef is 210 calories and 100 of those calories coming from fat!
100 divided by 210 = 47.6%!
What's this 10% stuff about? If we check the math for the 27% fat choice, it's actually 60% fat! Almost two thirds is non-protein fat! AND THIS IS COOKED !
I shudder to even think what the fat percentages are for raw meat.
Me too! Especially after all the ground meat I've been eating. Perhaps this is what is causing my weightloss to slow!
