Well-nourished bodies help you to feel great and to get the most out of life. If you are looking for easy ways to fuel your body with lower-fat meals, full of nutritional goodness, today's lean beef is a perfect choice.

Lean beef is an important source of 12 essential nutrients including high quality protein, iron, zinc and B vitamins. Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide encourages Canadians to enjoy 1 to 3 servings of Meat and Alternatives, such as lean beef, every day.

Healthy eating is a matter of variety, balance and moderation. Foods work together to supply you with more than 50 nutrients needed for good health. Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide recommends 1 to 3 servings of Meat and Alternatives each day. A serving of lean beef is 75 grams cooked.
