Meat is a valuable and necessary food product for a person, since it contains animal protein. This substance is an important structural element in the construction of all body tissues. Depending on the type of animal or bird, the protein content in their meat is different.
Instructions
Step 1
The most protein-containing meat is horse meat and rabbit. 100 g of these types of meat contains 21 g of protein. Beef, veal and lamb are next. 100 g of the meat of these animals contains 20 g of protein. Poultry is walking next to the beef. In chicken and turkey meat, protein is also 20 g per 100 g of meat weight. Pork contains the least protein. If this is a tenderloin, then it contains 19 g of protein, and in the fat part - only 12 g per 100 g.
Step 2
To saturate the body with protein, it is necessary to consume 10-15% of protein-containing foods. An excess of protein can lead to digestive problems, as it is not absorbed and lends itself to decay. Decay products are toxic, absorbed through the intestines into the bloodstream, they spread throughout the body and poison the entire body.
Step 3
Children under two years of age need a lot of protein per day - 4 g per kilogram of weight. From the age of two until the onset of adolescence, the protein rate per kilogram of weight must be reduced to 3 g. Adolescents under the age of 20 need only 2 g of protein per kilogram of their weight. And for adults, one gram of protein per day is enough for a kilogram of weight.
Step 4
One hundred grams of meat can be replaced by protein content: 175 g of fatty fish; 480 g of milk; 115 g of cottage cheese. If you eat meat for lunch, fish in the evening, and cottage cheese in the morning or drink milk, you can fully satisfy the daily need for protein.
Step 5
It is better to eat lean meat, after cutting off the fat from it. It is shown boiled, steamed or grilled, baked in the oven. It is better not to cook fried meat.
Step 6
Meat contains purine bases. Once in the body, they turn into uric acid. When too much uric acid accumulates, the permeability of the renal capillaries is disturbed and diseases develop - gout and osteochondrosis. Also, excessive consumption of meat lowers the body's immune reactivity and leads to a decrease in resistance to disease.
