Is that 60(fat)/20(carbs)/20(protein)? or protein/fat/carbs (it's really

hard to eat red meat and stay at that 20% fat, especially with adding in

good fats, like olive, flax, etc.

The 60-20-20 number I'm ignoring is 60% carb, 20% protein, 20% fat.

I am fortunate to have a local brand of longhorn ground beef (from all cuts

including steak cuts) which is 98% fat free so I am able to get protein

without having to add fat. I do add olive oil into the meat for moisture

and because it's a good fat source.
