90% lean ground beef
I mainly eat chicken but I would like to switch it up. I always try to get the leanest ground beef I can which is usually 95% lean. But the cost when compared to the 90% lean ground beef is crazy. If I buy the 90% lean beef and cook it in a pan and drain the fat is it really that much worse than the 95% lean beef?

If you're going to drain off the grease then wash off the meat in a colander 95% is not worth the extra money.
Just get 70% because after separating the fat it will have very similar macros to 95% and you will only lose about 2oz per pound after cooking.

Wow good read thank you! I also was unaware draining the fat into the sink was bad for your plumbing lol.

I didn't eat beef for a long time.
Started again over the summer and did a much of research.
I remember hearing on America's Test Kitchen how the different grades of beef are crazy similar after separating the fat but I can't find the episode:/
The link above is the closest comparison I could find between the different grades of ground beef.

I mean you need a decent amount of fat in ones diet.. can't eliminate it completely without it being negative I assume for ones health I.e good sat fat is good for natural test production. Try venicine if you want lean lean then. I know people,that compete in bodybuilding and when it's time to cut, fat is like 65-70% fat. It's a more efficient fuel source then carbs so I hear

Well I never really look into this type of beef.
In my field dealing with top choice and prime beef .
Keep u guys updated. If u ever go on date night and restaurants say they are serving a "PRIME CUT STEAK" only about 9% of the beef in America or maybe world not sure which....is actually prime. Most restaurant will lie and say it's prime.
Actually had a restaurant ask to borrow beef from me. And I know they "serve" prime....and they know that cut I have isn't prime but they still wanted it.

Lol that doesn't surprise me at all.
The majority of people have no clue when it comes to food.
Not many would be able to tell the difference between fresh and frozen fish unless they grew up by the beach.
There's a gastropub around the corner from my that just switched up their Fall menu. $22 for 8oz wagyu steak over roasted beats, it's amazing!

It was a ribeye.
My bad the price was actually $13, had a few cocktails lol.
Those are high prices but you are in fine dining on the West coast.
It costs me $60 for breakfast at Mel's dinner or Dennys in San Francisco.
Not sure if you've been to Philly but fine or casual dining is much more affordable and the ratio of great to crappy restaurants is much higher than the West Coast.
