Question about ground beef/turkey
| Fri, 05-20-2005 - 10:30am |
I'm on my first week in Phase 2, and although I thought I was doing well through Phase 1, I've had some poor planning this week and may not show a loss this week. I think part of it was my confusion about ground turkey. I noticed that in all phases, we're allowed to have lean ground beef (with the highest fat content being 10%), but can only have ground turkey breast. I had 93% fat free ground turkey a few times this week before I realized the error. Can someone please explain why low-fat ground turkey is not permitted but low-fat ground beef is? Thank you.

I agree that the turkey thing is confusing. The difference with ground turkey is that there are different varieties available; some use only white meat where others use both white and dark meat.
