hey bro im freaking out here lmao i cant figure out wat to do....
alright well before i would jst buy 16oz ground beef and eat 1/4 (measuring by eye) so i would have a serving of 4oz
well i finally got a scale to measure out everything. Do I weigh the meat b4 or after its cooked?
I decided to buy fatter meat (73/27) so the ratio is better prot/fat but then I was thinking, majority of the fats come out wen it cooked ne ways (grease)
so would i benefit more by buying better meat (90/10) that way I actually get MORE meat per serving? (Since less is getting drained)
lol its confusing.
ah, this is a good question.
First of all, 90/10 is actually the perfect beef cut. You want to avoid as much animal fat as possible.
I personally use 91/9 lean beef (grass fed) by maverick farms.
However, to boost the fat, I use BUTTER or GARLIC INFUSED OLIVE OIL!! Both of those on steak is absolutely godlike, and the fat from butter is much healthier than the fat from beef. (not to mention o oil lol)
anyway, the weight is uncooked weight when measuring cals/fat/protein.
I recommend you cook the beef on the george foreman and get out the beef fat as much as possible, and add plenty of o-oil or butter as your fat. Easier to control at that point also. Assume that the george foreman makes a sirloin 90/10 into around a 98/2.
