As we can see, meats share their main nutrients but we have a variety of properties depending on each of them and of course, whether we choose the lean cuts of different meats or not, as it is the case with turkey and chicken breasts that we discriminate , they are the ones that concentrate the most proteins, except in the case of white fish that, unlike fatty fish, have a lower amount of proteins and fats.
Within the fish there is also variety, so if you need to know more about different specimens, you can consult the nutritional table that we have prepared specifically for them.
On the other hand, we must not forget that fatty fish although they concentrate more fat than many other meats, offer quality fats for the body. Regarding iron, red meats always concentrate greater proportions while phosphorus, a nutrient that should be taken care of by those suffering from kidney problems, predominates in fatty fish above all.
Whatever your goal or need, you can choose the best meat for you by consulting this complete nutritional table, but always remember that here we talk about averages and that the recommended, regardless of the meat you choose, is to consume the leanest cuts of the same .
