Cholesterol Levels
Red meat, which includes beef, pork and lamb, provides more saturated
fat and cholesterol per serving than poultry, fish or vegetable
proteins. Eating too much red meat may increase your cholesterol levels,
putting you at risk for heart disease, heart attack and stroke. A total
cholesterol level of less than 200 milligrams per deciliter and a
low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, level of less than 130 milligrams per
deciliter puts you at the lowest risk, according to MayoClinic.com.
Cholesterol from Red Meat
You absorb cholesterol from the animal products that you eat. and
consuming excess dietary cholesterol may contribute to elevated
cholesterol levels in your body. The Cleveland Clinic recommends that
you keep your intake of cholesterol under 200 milligrams a day. A
3-ounce portion of T-bone steak has about 51 milligrams of cholesterol,
while a 3-ounce pork chop has 60 milligrams of cholesterol. But you'll
get no cholesterol from vegetable proteins, such as beans.
