RABBIT MEAT NUTRITIONAL FACTS
Cholesterol
The wrong types of cholesterol lead to many types of heart problems. Red meat and pork are equally high and are often discouraged in low cholesterol diets. Those who want to continue to eat some form of meat should consider rabbit which is lower in cholesterol than chicken.
Calories
Many diets focus on calories. The lower the calories of a food the greater impact it has on a positive diet. Amazingly rabbit meat is less than half the calories of pork, and about one half the calories of lamb and beef.
Fats
Most meats are high in fats. Unfortunately they are high in the most undesirable fat which are the saturated fats. Rabbit meat again is the best meat choice as it is lowest in fat.
Proteins
Again the rabbit meat exceeds all other meat products.
Other Various Facts
In my research I have found some other various nutritional facts. 100% of the recommended daily allowance of B12 can be found in just 3.5 ounces of rabbit meat according to askDrSears.com. Many people will like the fact that rabbit meat is an all-white meat, making it suitable for many diets. Rabbit meat also has 33% less sodium than chicken.
To summarize here are the benefits of rabbit meat:
- Low in cholesterol
- Low in calories
- Low in saturated fats
- High in protein
- Low in sodium
- All white meat plus 100% of the RDA for B12
