Venison For Nutrition And Health
In recognition of hunting season
According to the USDA website on nutrition, venison is among the most nutritious meats around. It has fewer calories per serving than either beef, pork, or chicken in an equivalent serving. Note that these figures are for the cut of tenderloin (or breast for chicken), and in all cases, the cuts are baked or broiled.
Venison Nutrition
Meat Cal Saturated Monounsat. Polyunsat. Cholesterol Iron
3 oz lean Fat (g) Fat(g) Fat(g) (mg) (mg)
Deer tenderloin 127 1 0.5 0.1 75 3.6
Beef tenderloin 185 4.3 4.6 0.4 71 1.5
Pork tenderloin 171 2.5 2.8 0.6 80 1.2
Chicken breast tender 249 3.2 5.8 2.6 37 1
Chicken breast 157 1.8 2.5 1.3 64 1
As you can see, per equivalent serving size, venison tenderloin has fewer calories, less fat, and more iron than even chicken breast. The cholesterol content is only marginally higher than that of beef tenderloin. Why is this the case? Cattle have fat marbled through the meat, whereas deer do not. This means that in the process of preparing venison, the vast majority of the fat is removed, rather than consumed.

We'll be hunting too. Mr. Wonderful, DS (13) and I will all get at least one deer.0
-
Yup! We take 3 to 4 deer a year and it's all about gone by the next season. We will all have to share our favorites recipes sometime. Good healthy stuff.0

I really need to move to where some of you live. Mass is so tight with regulations and the population just isn't all that high. We can't even hunt on Sundays.0
-
Head on over to MI and I will get you on a deer!!0

vaderandbill I feel your pain about Sunday hunting. We can't Sundays either.0
