Reduced Calorie Recipes: Beef


We tend to think of beef as being more fattening than chicken breast. However, a 3 ounce serving of Beef Eye of Round contains 142 calories and 4.2 grams of fat (1.5 of which is saturated). The same amount of roasted, skinless chicken breast contains 140 calories and 3 grams of fat (0.8 saturated). Choose your beef cuts carefully and you can enjoy it frequently.

The fat content of the leanest cuts of beef are below, per 3 ounce cooked portion:

Top Round (4.2 grams total fat, 1.4 grams sat fat)
Eye Round (4.2 grams total fat, 1.5 grams sat fat)
Round Tip (5.9 grams total fat, 2.1 grams sat fat)
Top Sirloin (6.1 grams total fat, 2.4 grams sat fat)
Bottom Round (6.3 grams total fat, 2.1 grams sat fat)
