Go for lean meat...

Lean meat or meat with medium fat?  "Fat marbling is the one which taste good...." Let's compare the nutrient content of the two.


Nutrients content per 100g lean meat:
Calories: 189kcal
Fat:21g
Protein:17g
Carbohydrate:0g

Cholesterol: 50mg


Nutrients content per 100g meat with medium fat:
Calories: 527kcal
Fat:53.8g
Protein:10.7g
Carbohydrate:0g

Cholesterol: 63mg

Summary:  
The calories for meat with medium fat is 3 times higher than lean meat due to its high fat content.  Next time, try to go for lean whenever possible.  Don't worry, you can still enjoy some fatty meats if cholesterol and weight issue are not your major health concerns.  Just reduce the frequency will do.
