Down on the farm, lean cuts of Angus Farms premium beef are part of a
well-balanced diet. It’s packed with protein, essential vitamins and robust
flavor that make eating better taste great.

Selecting lean cuts and appropriate serving sizes helps you maintain a healthy
lifestyle. A standard serving size of cooked and trimmed beef is 3 ounces, or
about the size of a deck of playing cards. However, you may want
to plan on larger 6-ounce servings for holidays or special
occasions. A good general rule for beef purchases: one pound of boneless
cuts yields 4 three-ounce servings of cooked, trimmed beef.
The amount of calories and fat varies greatly between cuts of meat. That's
why choosing the right cuts is important. Just remember to balance high-fat
food choices with leaner options to create well-rounded meals.

Here's the beef with chicken. A 3-ounce skinless chicken thigh contains 9
grams of fat. However, there are 8 cuts of beef that have less than 9 grams of
fat.* These lean cuts you’re looking for are the flank steak, top round, eye
round, round tip, top sirloin, bottom round, top loin and tenderloin.
