Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Game meat, elk

  • Metabolic Effect: Boasting 22.95g of high-quality protein per 100g, elk meat ignites your metabolism and provides prolonged satiety while its lean 1.45g fat content aids fat loss. The 2.76mg of iron per serving ensures optimal oxygen transport to your muscles, preventing dietary fatigue and boosting energy levels.
  • Consumption Tip: I recommend my clients pair this game meat with a Vitamin C-rich citrus salad to maximize the bioavailability of its mineral content. Since it naturally contains 58.0mg of sodium, use aromatic herbs like rosemary instead of salt to maintain a heart-healthy sodium balance.
  • What to Watch For: With 55.0mg of cholesterol per serving, clients with cardiovascular sensitivities should manage their portion sizes carefully despite its lean profile. Because it's extremely lean, avoid overcooking; use quick searing or moist heat methods to keep the meat tender and preserve its dense micronutrient profile.
  • Exercise Equivalent: Burning the 111.0 calories in a standard portion requires about 25 minutes of brisk walking or 12 minutes of swimming. This high-protein intake is perfect for post-workout recovery, as it directly fuels muscle repair while you burn off those calories.
