Can You Eat Ground Beef Everyday
Yes. We recommend 90 to 95% percent lean or grass-fed ground beef. Both options are lower in calories and fat than grain-fed beef.
It’s much leaner than it’s conventional counterpart. It’s also higher in key nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and a beneficial fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that’s been tied to improved immunity and anti-inflammation benefits.
