Venison is very low in fat content so I see problem with eating it. The only thing is, the meat will be a bit on the dry side when cooked because of it's low fat. I use venison when making meat balls but I mix it 50/50 with pork and the rest of my seasonings prior to making the meat balls. If you're on a diet and looking to lose or keep weight off, pork would likely not be a good option.
True for most cuts of pork. But I also wanted to add that pork tenderloin has a very similar nutritional profile with chicken breast. Plus it's darker meat, so more tender and flavourful. A great alternative, and much much cheaper. Great for boxers on a budget. Never tried venison tho, heard good things about it. Would like to try anything once. But really, almost any lean meat is a good idea for anyone taking their diet seriously.
I'll buy the whole boneless pork loin on sale and it runs $1.70 or under when on sale. That gives me about 12 nice 1 inch plus pork steaks and a couple quart bags of cut up pieces for stir fry. The tenderloin is a very nice cut of pork and cooks up quick with very little fat and a good option if on a diet. I get a good bit of venison from friends that hunt deer through the winter months. I love deer meat, but like most wild animal meat, it can be a bit gamey tasting to some folks-------I'm just not one of them. The trick to cooking wild game like venison is to cook it low and slow with lots of moisture for the best results.
Hey , scoffed them they were lovely man. Saunsburys in uk do them. 4 for five pound. Not on a diet but I want to be at my best so I'm experimenting with food. Cheers
