I`ve noticed how it`s getting a bit harder to find `full fat` cuts of meat at the supermarket - all this ground beef and pork that`s 80% fat free - it`s really annoying! I`m worried that they`re going to stop selling anything that`s remotely fatty whilst keeping all the high carb junk...


The 80-20 ground beef isn't "lean" - it's 20% fat content (not calories from fat) so has a much higher percentage of calories from fat than the "lean" beef at 90-10 or 93-7....

80-20 ground beef is 254 calories per 100g; 20g fat so 180-calories from fat, or 70% of the calories.

90-10 ground beef is 176 calories per 100g; 10g fat so 90 calories from fat, or 51% of the calories.
