    Totally disagree with this. Makes me want to vomit. Those chewy greasy chunks. Bleh.

    I don't eat the fatty parts- blech, but I keep them
    on while cooking because it flavors and moisturizes the meat, and cut them off after cooking.

    Im with the woman who says 14 oz is a tiny steak! I regularly eat steaks that are 1.5 pounds. I just save up my calories and enjoy the heck out of it!

    Thank you!!!! ;) I love my steaks. And I'm definitely taking you guys' advice for tonight. I'll be eating half of it tonight and the other half tomorrow and see how I manage. I will be eating extra broccoli though to get the full feeling.

    I use to eat 16 ounce steaks before my diet now if I have one its 4-6 ounces. Would rather have a cup of mashed potatoes and veggies now

    Wait...you eat a 14oz steak and don't have "the full feeling"?!

    Nope. I usually always want more!

    This is what I do:
    1) Cook it without weighing it.
    2) Cut off the fat.
    3) Weigh what's left (If it's a huge steak, I'll split it with my husband or save the rest for breakfast).
    4) Use an entry for steak that explicitly says "cooked". (Double check calorie count from another website.)
    5) Enjoy the juicy meat in my mouth.

    I'm so mad at the fact that the tiny little steak I will eat tonight is over 800 cals. I'm weighing before cooking (with the fat included) and it's .89 pounds = 14.24 oz. Can I just weigh after cooking and after cutting the fat out?? Or is this my life now??

    I eat a lot of meat :(

    Tiny? I buy 500 grams of steak, which is about 18 oz, for the entire family to eat, which is me, husband, one teenager, two younger kids. Not because we are trying to lose weight, or avoid meat or whatever, because if we buy more we just have a lot of leftovers no one wants to eat once the steak is cold. You definitely can eat A LOT of meat at once!

    Cheaper cuts of steak are much lower in calories as they don't have the fat content to make them taste like an expensive steak. Rib Eyes, New Yorks, Porterhouses, and Filet Mignon are so delicious because they are insanely high in fat, thus insanely high in calories.

    A 14oz steak should be pretty large. Are you sure you are weighing it correctly? Does your scale have a tare function and if so did you use it?
    I just bought strip loins and was weighing before freezing. The SMALLEST one was 11.2oz. I cut that in1/2 for my own dinners. The "man size" one I kept aside for my hubs was 14.86oz. I had weighed that one just out of curiosity. He enjoyed and finished every single bite + mushrooms and a large salad. Steak weighs more than you think it does if you're just eyeballing it

    Rib-eye steak (rib roast, prime rib)

    The crème de la crème of steaks. Very marbled cut, which means it's flavorful and stays tender while cooking.



    Yeah, that's the one. I'll let others have the lean cuts.

    Got one of those in the fridge right now to go on the barbecue tomorrow.

    My favourite and I concur about letting others have the leaner.

    Meat is my favorite fruit. :p I won't even buy a steak if I can't get at least 1 pounds worth! Nom nom, I fit it in my calories for the day. Fat and all. Leaner cuts is what I would suggest if you have to... The weight might of the meat may change but the calories would be the same. Trimming it to cut calories is a good idea.
