March is National Nutrition Month

Did you know that an appropriate serving size (4 oz. raw = 3 oz. cooked) of lean beef is only 150 calories on average?

Did you know that same 3 oz. cooked serving of lean beef is an excellent source of six essential nutrients (protein, selenium, vitamin B-12, zinc, niacin and vitamin B-6) and a source of four essential nutrients (phosphorus, choline, iron and riboflavin)?
Did you know that lean beef can be part of a heart-healthy diet? Reserch suggests that lean beef, when eaten as part of an overall heart-healthy diet, can reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol as much as the gold standard heart-health DASH diet.
