With all the negative press surrounding red meat, it's also important to note that the food has a lot of positives as well. Red meat tends to be a great way to get in more protein in your diet, which is a crucial macronutrient.
Registered dietitian nutritionist Allison Baker, who is vice president of business development at a personalized nutrition company, told Livestrong that red meat can be great for a low-fat protein source. "While all animal-sourced proteins are what is considered 'complete,' the sometimes lower-fat levels observed in grass-fed beef can result in an overall higher percentage of protein, ounce for ounce," Baker said. Additionally, Livestrong noted that protein like red meat "has also been linked to weight loss because it curbs hunger and keeps blood sugar levels stabilized, preventing cravings."
So, when you eat more protein, you're less likely to binge-eat other not-so-nutritious foods, which may lead to weight loss. Additionally, staying full by eating red meat can give you more energy to work out, which could also contribute to weight loss.
