Lean ground beef FAQ]
Is lean ground beef high in cholesterol?
Yes, lean ground beef is high in cholesterol. A 4-ounce serving of 93% lean ground beef contains on average around 71 mg of cholesterol, which contributes 24% of the recommended daily value (DV). According to the American Heart Association, the recommended daily intake for cholesterol should be less than 300mg. For those watching their dietary cholesterol intake, lean ground beef should be consumed in moderation.
Is lean ground beef keto?
Yes, lean ground beef can be suitable for a ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet emphasizes a high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrate intake. Lean ground beef is high in protein, moderate in fat, and low in carbohydrates, and although leaner varieties of meat like lean ground beef are lower in fat, fat can be added through cooking methods or accompanying dishes to accommodate the high fat requirement on keto.
