Red Meat
6 ingredients tagged "Red Meat" — how they affect digestion, energy, sleep, and mood.
- Beef A complete protein with highly bioavailable iron, zinc, and B12 — but classified as red meat, with higher-quality cuts and cooking methods making a real difference.
- Game Meat Game meat refers to wild or farmed animals hunted or raised for food, including deer, elk, rabbit, and game birds. It is typically leaner than conventional livestock and contains higher levels of certain micronutrients. Wild and grass-fed game meat also contains modestly higher omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef, though not at levels comparable to fatty fish.
- Goat Goat meat is a lean red meat from domesticated goats, commonly consumed globally and notable for its lower fat content and distinct nutrient profile compared to beef or lamb.
- Lamb Lamb is the meat of young sheep, rich in high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins. It is a nutrient-dense red meat with a composition similar to beef but a distinct fatty acid profile.
- Pork Classified as red meat — leaner cuts (tenderloin, loin) are nutritionally similar to poultry, but processed pork (bacon, ham, sausage) carries the strongest cancer signal.
- Veal Veal is the meat of young cattle, typically slaughtered between 2 and 10 months of age. It is nutrient-dense, providing high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, with a mild flavor and tender texture.
