wonderful for you.. fat or not why add ANY amount of "beef, pork or chicken" to your rice and beans? what's wrong with eating just "rice and beans"?
6oz filet mignon 500cal compared to 6oz chicken 280cal...but I would rather eat filet mignon! admitting what? that I like meat but can't eat it too much because I care about my weight? I asked if you're vegan, because the last vegan i spoke to (a fat lady btw) couldn't give me any valid health reason why meat is bad for you...her reasoning was only the cruelty to animals (terrible, i admit)
do you know how much 500 cals of LETTUCE looks like? you couldn't eat it in one setting. what's your argument, eat chicken because less fat than beef? try eatinga 500 cal; SALAD! i ask YOU why eat Chicken/beef/pork with its concomitant high level of bad fat ? wher is YOUR nutritional advantage?
you don't make friends with salad high level of fat, but not necessarily bad fat. If I was going to eat the filet mignon, I would end up being hungry or have to go over my calorie limit....however, I doubt it would affect my health.
Soy is good in moderation, but eaten in large quantities, as a complete meat based protein replacement, can adversely effect proper hormonal balance in both men and women.
