2019.04.16 Sous Vide Grass Fed Steak, Washington, DC USA 01424

Grass Fed Rib Eye Steak cooked using Sous-Vide method.

 

100 grams of Rib Eye has 11 grams of monounsaturated fat, about the same amount of monounsaturated fat as there is in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 1 tablespoon of olive oil has 1.4 grams of saturated fat, a little more than in 1 slice of bacon (1.1 grams saturated fat). There is no food that has only one kind of fat. Rib Eye is a fattier cut of meat; a sirloin cut has 4.8 grams of saturated fat, or 3 tablespoons of olive oil’s worth.

 

We also now know there is no evidence that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates is better for human health, probably the opposite is the case.

 

And, as expected, ingestion of the stake resulted in no rise in blood glucose, as tested with a continuous glucose monitor (glycemic index of steak =0 )
