RED MEAT, CHICKEN, OR FISH, WHICH IS HEALTHIER?

It is time to pick your protein for dinner and you have already had beans, lentils, and veggie burgers this week, so what is the next best choice? You know that 12 ounces of seafood per week is recommended but what about a lean hamburger? Or steak? Or a chicken breast? Choices, choices. Don't you wish you could compare calories and saturated fat among these? Well wish no more. I have compiled the calories and saturated fat in a typical serving of lean hamburger, sirloin steak, chicken breast, and haddock fillet, so you have the facts. Now you decide what's for dinner.
