    Venison is great!! That is all I eat! and it is not high in cholesterol! Its a clean healthy meat!



    look it up anywhere it is high in cholesterol....i eat a lot also but just stating facts.,

    It has slightly less cholesterol than beef but beef also then has more than four times the amount of saturated fat.

    Crockpot. Delicious slow stewed. Guess I didn't answer the question though.

    It's very lean for red meat. If you don't like the game taste soak it overnight in milk and juniper berries if you have them.

    Always inspect the liver of any wild game you kill. Should be spot free.

    Thanks for the reminder on checking the liver :):):)

    its high in cholesterol but has very little fat

    Its not nearly as high in cholesterol as beef. My dad's doctor will not allow him to eat beef, but he can have all of the venison he wants. It has no preservatives, no hormones, and very little fat. The only ground meat I eat, year round is venison. In chili, spaghetti sauce, or burgers, you can not even tell the difference.......

    A 3-oz. serving of roast venison, for example, has 75 mg of cholesterol, while a similar cut of beef contains 76 mg of cholesterol. However, the venison slice contains less than 1 g of saturated fat, whereas the beef has 4.3 g -- more than four times the amount that deer meat provides.

    Significance
    At 75 and 76 mg of cholesterol, a single serving of venison or beef roast represents about 38 percent of your daily cholesterol allotment.

    If only dietary cholesterol had a direct correlation to blood serum cholesterol. Alas, it does not, thereby making your argument moot.

    Cholesterol Differences
    Based on preparation, venison contains fewer calories and grams of cholesterol and fat than comparable beef cuts. One example is a venison loin. A 3-ounce serving has about 15 fewer grams of cholesterol than a beef tenderloin--62 and 77, respectively.

    According to the USDA nutritional database, venison is 116 calories with 18mg of cholesterol per 3.75 oz. I think that is proof enough that it is good for you.:bigsmile:

    In your opinion, how nutritious is venison (deer meat)? In my experience, I have found it quite a bit more lean than beef and very high in protein, all good things. Not particularly high in calories either. However, I am by no means a nutrition expert. What are your thoughts?

    I love deer season! So much deer meat this past year! Brother and step-dad killed 3 deer a piece. Cheaper than beef for sure and so much better and fresher! I LOVE it. I make everything that I would make with beef or turkey. I use tenderloin a lot and ground deer. LOVE!

    Mmmmmmmmmmm.......I'm getting hungry for a bambi burger! :laugh:

    We have a butcher shop close to home that carries farmed venison & bison. Love 'em both. (Never was much of a hunter myself)

    I have been eating one pound at least four nights a week for the last year. I really like venison.

    It has definitely helped me take off the weight.

    I can it in the fall in a pressure cooker. Then when i need a quick easy snack I just pop the top off a jar sit down with buffalo sauce dip and enjoy.....
