If you’re a red meat eater then you’ll know how easy it is to eat a huge portion of steak ?. Red meat should be limited to a few times per week as intake above this has been linked to some cancers and chronic diseases. 100g cooked is about the right portion size.

On the left
?200g untrimmed steak ?
?2 medium potatoes ?
?1 cup mixed salad ? with mayo
?30g Avocado ?

On the right
?100g cooked steak ?
?1 medium ?
? 2 cups salad ? with Balsamic vinegar
?2 florets broccolini ?
?15g Avocado ?

Another thing to note is that the high amount of protein in the meal on the left is not beneficial. 70g is actually enough to meet most females protein requirements for the FULL DAY. 40g is more than enough for one meal and also plenty to make you feel satisfied.

The moderate amount of carbs in the dish on the right is also better for blood sugar control and fat deposition. While white potatoes do have a high glycemic index (comment below if you want an explanation about this) because the portion is moderate and it is combined with protein and fat – the GI of the overall meal comes down. Sweet potato is a slightly better option as does have a medium GI ranking – so lower than white potato.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these meals ??
