Did you know that meat and alternatives provide protein, fat and many other important nutrients including iron, zinc, magnesium and B vitamins? You don't need to eat large amounts from this group to satisfy your nutritional needs. Bacon Contains about 16g fat per 100g. Is also very high in salt, and usually contains nitrites which, once in the stomach, may form substances linked to cancer. Smoked foods also been implicated as having cancer-inducing potential. Use bacon in small quantities, and eat only occasionally. Beef Contains about 5g of fat per 100g. About half this fat content is monounsaturated fat, similar to the fat found in heart-healthy olive oil. If you buy minced (ground) beef, make sure it doesn't contain too much fat. The meat facts on beef show that it's fine to include from time to time in a healthy diet. Chicken Skinless chicken contains around 3g fat per 100g. If you're worried about calories, remove the skin, where most of the fat is found. Chicken is a good source of nutrients.

Packaged ham is often made from off cuts of pork which have been ground, reconstituted with water and starch to bind, then pressed and shaped into 'ham'. This kind of ham may be high in fat and additives. Buy lean ham from a butcher or delicatessen, cut from a joint. Eat only in moderation. Lamb Contains around 8g fat per 100g. Lamb is quite a fatty meat, particularly cuts like shoulder. But, as research continues, it's unclear just how harmful saturated fat is to the body. Lamb is not often reared intensively, and in moderation is a good addition to a healthy diet.
