Read Meat Nutrition Labels

The USDA recently imposed a law requiring grocers to display nutrition information on 40 of the most common meat cuts, including all ground meat and poultry products. (Learn more with this guide on USDA Nutrition Labels for Beef.) This is good news. An 8-ounce rib eye, raw, could easily have more than 550 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat, but you'd never know before the USDA's ruling. Now you can see with a glance that by switching to round steak, the calorie damage dips to about 375 calories with only 7 grams of saturated fat. Those numbers vary from steak to steak though, so take advantage by scrutinizing meat labels before any purchase. (To reap the full nutritional benefits of your DIY burger, follow the suggestions in our Burger Topping Selector.)
