Benefits
- ✓Rich in bioavailable heme iron - absorbed 2-3x more efficiently than plant iron, essential for preventing anemia
- ✓Significant vitamin B12 content - a critical nutrient for the nervous system, impossible to obtain from plants

Considerations
- !Fattier than chicken breast - choose lean cuts (tenderloin, trimmed sirloin) for a better protein ratio
- !Red meat - WHO recommends max 500g/week of processed and unprocessed red meat to minimize colorectal cancer risk
- !Cooking at very high temperatures (charcoal grilling, frying) produces heterocyclic amines - prefer oven or steam cooking
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi includes lean beef for variety and iron, especially in plans for women who may have deficiencies. Opt for lean cuts cooked in the oven or boiled - an oven-baked tenderloin steak with vegetables is a meal of superior nutritional quality. Pair beef with vitamin C (peppers, tomatoes) to maximize iron absorption.
