As an alternative red meat, it's often compared to beef. Here's the deal on the health benefits of venison vs beef.\r\n

\"illustration<\/h3>\r\n

Is Venison Healthier Than Beef?<\/h3>\r\nVenison meat is leaner than beef. Deer are wild and grass-fed, and generally naturally leaner than cattle. Trimmed of fat, a 3-ounce portion roasted provides about 135 calories and 3 grams of fat. That's only 1 gram of fat per ounce of meat.\r\n\r\nIn comparison, a 3-ounce portion of beef sirloin roast has 160 calories and 6 grams of fat. That's twice as much fat per ounce of meat.\r\n\r\nHowever, because ground venison is so lean, it can easily dry out when cooked. Many butchers will add beef fat to ground venison to add moisture. It's not unusual for 5 to 10% beef fat to be added. If you'd like a lower-fat product, you can ask the processor to add less beef fat. It'll make an extra-delicious addition to our recipe for venison stew<\/a>.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Cholesterol in Venison Compared to Beef<\/h3>\r\n

Venison has between 83 and 95 mg of cholesterol in a 3-ounce serving. Ground beef that's 85% lean has slightly less, about 77 mg in a 3-ounce serving. (Avoid these foods if you're watching your cholesterol<\/a>.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Venison Protein vs Beef<\/h3>\r\nVenison is richer in protein than other red meats, meaning it will fill you up and keep you sated longer. A 3-ounce serving of venison has 26 grams of protein, while the same amount of beef has 24 ounces of protein. Try it out in our reader-favorite venison stromboli<\/a> recipe.\r\n

Iron in Venison vs Beef<\/h3>\r\nFour ounces of venison provides 50% of your daily iron intake. Venison is rich in nutrients including vitamin B1 and B6, as well as niacin and riboflavin.\r\n\r\nNeed an iron boost? Try these iron-rich recipes<\/a>.\r\n

Is Venison More Expensive Than Beef<\/h3>\r\nDepending on the time of year and your location, venison is often cheaper than beef. Ground beef costs about $4.50 per pound, while ground venison can be as low as $1.00 per pound.\r\n\r\nWant to save money on beef? Here's a guide to the grades of beef<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
