A member asked:
I'm planning on having a meatloaf for dinner made with extra lean beef. is that good for you? and does it have any fat? if so is it good fats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Just like the name says, extra lean means less fat, not no fat. Beef does not have any good fat - it's all unhealthy fat but extra lean decreases this fat.
