[QUOTE="camoman, post: 63265, member: 571"] I've become quite interested in eating all around more healthy in recent years and now pay a little more attention to how much and what kinds of fat, as well as how much sodium and cholesterol is in a lot of the foods I eat. I haven't gone entirely awol however, as I don't count calories or limit my food intake. When I'm hungry (this is always, unfortunately), I eat. Anyway, considering its deer season and I just finished butchering my latest harvest, I decided to take a look at the nutrition facts for venison (keep in mind these numbers will vary depending on what your deer is eating itself). So the numbers are telling me: One 3 oz serving of venison: Total Fat: 7g Saturated Fat: 3g Cholesterol: 83mg :eek: Sodium: 66mg Total Carbs: 0g Protein: 22g Venison is also a good source of a number of the B-vitamins along with minerals like Iron, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Overall, not too bad. I would like to see the Fat a little lower, but it is red meat, and it's lower than beef (I'll never give up beef, however). No carbs in venison, which is hard to believe (and not hard at the same time biologically), just don't try to run a marathon on venison I guess. Cholesterol is a little high, unfortunately. Seems most wild creatures are a little high in this category. If you like eating walleye and your cholesterol levels are little high, don't look up the nutrition facts for a fillet of fish. [/QUOTE]
