2073.0. "Caloric/fat info for venison?" by CSCOA5::HUFFSTETLER () Sun Oct 29 1989 08:00

I did a dir/tit="venison" and couldn't find the information I was 
looking for, so I hope someone can help me.  Does anyone have 
information on caloric/fat contents for venison?  If you have the 
information in a table so that it shows the difference between 
venison, beef, pork, and chicken that would be fantastic.

The reason that I ask is that I was cooking some over the weekend and 
just got to wondering...  BTW, I cooked some fantastic BBQ that I'll 
be entering into the note on venison recipes (as soon as I find it 
again).

Thanks in advance,

Scott

	I'm glad you asked that.....a recent article in the food section of the local paper said that even "farm-raised" New Zealand Venison is a low fat (and low cholesterol by definition) meat roughly equivalent to turkey, white and dark mixed 50-50. Another words, a chart set up to prioritize meats fat-wise would look something like this: LOW FAT: WHITE MEAT TURKEY, CHICKEN >>> ADD VENISON HERE WHITE AND DARK MEAT (50 - 50) TURKEY OR CHICKEN LEAN BEEF, VEAL DARK MEAT CHICKEN DARK MEAT TURKEY LEAN PORK TENDERLOIN PRIME CUTS BEEF (PORTERHOUSE OR OTHER PRIME CUTS) HIGH FAT: HAM, OTHER HIGH FAT MEATS Yes, The leanest cuts of beef are leaner than dark meat bird - that meat is really quite fatty in birds these days - the birds are genetically prone to fat and very limited in their exercise - so you get fatty meat. The exception is "Rocky the range chicken".
