Which meat is the healthiest?

Meat, particularly healthy red meat, is rich in muscle-building amino acids, and the fatty acids found in all forms of meat help build your brain, which is 60 percent fat.

The USDA defines a lean cut of beef as a 3.5-ounce serving that contains fewer than 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 95 milligrams of cholesterol, and there are 29 cuts on the list. However, the leanest overall are the loin, round, or sirloin cuts.
