Curious to get peopleā€™s thoughts on what is a good steak to eat. Always have a freezer full of them. The oneā€™s I like best are rib steaks for the taste, but I know they get that taste from the large amount of fat/marble in them, as opposed to say a round steak or a cut like that.

Is there really much difference? Am basically eating them cuz heck, who doesnā€™t like steak, and the fact it is meeting my protein needs.

Anyone, anyoneā€¦Bueller?

26

Round cuts are good,mignons are good,and New York Strip Streaks are good,round cuts are a little tougher,but you can get by that with a good marinade,or a meat tenderizer

Coming Down(again caveat,you may leave out the nutmeg here)

Best cut of Steak for less fat content is top round steak, London Broil, Eye Round etcā€¦ Stay away from bottom round, its high in fat.

Filet is decent(Healthwise) Ny Strip(High in Cholestoral)

Lets talk about soy and Tofuā€¦ Deathly afraid of it.. Read it causes cancer and Tofu when eaten over a period of time has been known to cause brain atrophy..

I read the cancer comes from a few reasons but one of the reasons is the high temp alkalai solution beans need to be treated so they can be consumable, plus as a guy I dont need the extra estrogenā€¦

I read about the soy danger about 3 years ago and was bummed because I loved soy milk and preferred it over dairy milk used to eat it with my cereal and protein shakes, took me a while to get used to dairy again when I ceased the Soyā€¦ Always wanted to try tofu but again am scared of what I read about Soy..

Any thoughts from you guys and gals?

I find tofu disgusting, so no worries here. Not much into soy either.

Far as the steaks go, yea, I suspected that was the case. Iā€™m guessing top round is the same as inside round? Giving up a bit of taste eating it, but nothing some Franks Red Hot Sauce canā€™t fix.

Exactlyā€¦ A lean cut of red meat has less cholestrol than a skinless chix breast, I use dry rub as well for the steak as well as montreal steak season

Correctā€¦ Tofu is a byproduct of Soy. Its the curdā€¦ So you are at the same risk eating Tofu as you are drinking or consuming Soy

Iā€™m not training at the moment just sparring.

But there are a few things Iā€™m eating that are keeping my weight down, Iā€™m actually nice and trim because of these foods.

I made a dish yesterday.
Atlantic Salmon darnes fried in lemon and extra virgin olive oil.
They were the business!
Had some whole wheat pasta with em and a side of potato salad.

No need for any fatty sauces because of the lemon.

39

How to eat well
Italian marinaded chicken
A lightly buttered Asiago Bread
Honey glazed steamed carrots
Green Pepper with a honey dijon sauce

That was dinner last night,and I was the cook,no eating out
Light on the carbs,mid realm on fat,lots of vitamins(allways steam your veggies,or eat them raw,you lose vitamins if you boil them)

Sounds good!!!
