Sport How can you tell leaness of beef?

You have to use those things above your nose. Marbled meat is streaked with fat. Check any labeling and trim off any visible, solid fat from the meat or chicken.

yeah ok, As soon as you start using that thing above your eyes.

I guess the marbled part is fairly obvious, so my question is more about the toughness and if that has any relation to the amound of fat. I get it at the local outdoor market, so there is no labeling.
 
I think toughness can be an indicator, but then filet mignon is relatively lean and it's incredibly tender. I just look up the particular cut on fitday or calorie king or just do a google search like "beef top sirloin nutritional information" and you can find an average
 
Seeing you are so cheeky, a friend of mine has suggested you get the cow or goat before its murdered and measure its body fat. If its overweight put it on a treadmill.

Thanks for the comment Genitalia
 
Fortunately, the meat market where I go, package the calories, etc, on the packaging material, and I usually (when I do eat beef, which is rare) just go off of this. I dont have a special reason to stay away from beef, I just love my chicken, tuna, etc.


Sorry not much help.

What are you trying to aim for? Less fat in general? Or just specifically the saturated fat?

I'm looking for lowest saturated fat. The kind i get now 'seems' lean. It's like a fillet with virtually no visible fat or marbling and slightly tough but good taste. Very little dripping when cooked.
