Have you heard that the USDA now requires all meat to be labeled in the grocery store? It’s pretty exciting news as you are now able to know the full nutrition content of these products! Next time you are in the grocery store, I encourage you to take a little time to check out the new labels. Just keep in mind we recommend choosing lean sources of meat such as white meat poultry without the skin, 90% or greater lean hamburger, fish, pork loin, etc. Processed meats such as sausage should be limited. When you examine the meat labels, pay special attention to the fat content and make efforts to choose meats that are lower in total and saturated fat. This will not only help promote heart health, but also help your waist line!
