Kidney fat is generally considered the most desirable, but depending on the age of the animal, back fat might be good too, or even fat from other areas. Heidi might have more detailed info on this than I do, though most people can't find use for nearly all the fat from an animal. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is the buttery-smooth fat that comes on fattier steaks, but I don't know where that can be found in quantity on the animal. Given a choice I would first ask if I could get an assortment. Then the next time you can tell more clearly what you like the best. > Also how much beef fat is healthy for daily consumption? I am just now reading " Cancer: Disease of Civilization? " by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, and recently read " Fat of the Land " by the same author. In his experience with native Eskimos he concluded that they ate as much fat as they felt like, and were (before European influence) very healthy in all respects, and almost never got cancer. Except during times of famine, they served seal oil or whale oil with every meal, and everyone added as much as their appetite dictated. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll most likely go with the kidney fat like mentioned and a little assortment as you mentioned. And I know it depends a ton on body size and activity, but if you had to put a number to it would it be a 1/2 pound a day of beef fat is good? Or is that probably a little much of one type of fat with todays life style? Thanks, P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 [P. ] Also how much beef fat is healthy for daily consumption? [MAP] Between 0 and 70% of your caloric intake.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks Mike. Good to know because I think I was eating too much. > [P. ] Also how much beef fat is healthy for daily consumption? > > [MAP] Between 0 and 70% of your caloric intake. > > Mike > SE Pennsylvania > > The best way to predict the future is to invent it. --Alan Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly agree with Mike, except I would bump that number up to 80% on the high end and not go below 20-30% on the low end. I would also still encourage everyone to trust their own instincts. I think a short amount of time with too much fat won't hurt (our bodies may be crying out for it after a long time on a low-fat diet), and I suspect you will start to feel when it is too much after a while. Sugar & starches are the ones I need to watch out for. As long as my carb level is low, I can eat a lot of fat. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that 80% probably would be a good high end, but I don't think Mike was suggesting that FAT consumption could be 0% on the low end, just that BEEF fat consumption could account for 0% of the calories in a healthy diet. There are other sources of good fat. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other sources of good fat. Sorry, my mistake. I was thinking of total fat calories. I agree that there are many good fat sources, beef fat is just one of them. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other sources of good fat. [MAP] Yup, that's exactly what I meant, thanks. But I'm a little skeptical of the 80% idea you guys suggest. I know 20% is the standard protein figure and everything, but I went down to 70% to be conservative (okay, I confess--my internet connection is being funding by the low-fat dictocrats <grin>) for a few reasons. One is that even Eskimos eat some carbs. The other is specific to the case of just one fat type, like beef fat., as opposed to total fat intake. I don't have any developed ideas here, but my intuition is simply that the 80% figure would imply too much restriction on dietary variety in practice. It also accomodates some vagueness in the semantics of " beef fat " , like whether the fat from eating beef liver is counted. So that's pretty much what I had in mind there with 70%.
