Nutrition Notes
Bison boasts fewer calories, grams of fat and cholesterol than most meats including beef, pork and skinless chicken. The wild animal is lower in fat and cholesterol than most meats and meat alternatives. For the same serving size, bison has one-quarter of the fat found in beef; one-third of the fat found in chicken; and half the fat found in turkey. Because of its lower fat content, the American Heart Association recommends bison meat as a leaner alternative to beef. A four ounce (112 gram) serving of roasted bison contains 160 calories, 2.2 grams of fat and 83 milligrams of cholesterol. Like other meats, bison is also an excellent source of protein and iron - providing about 30% of the recommended daily allowance for both these nutrients in each serving. A four ounce steak of bison has the same amount of protein a New York strip loin of beef, with less fat. One Food Guide serving of bison is 2.5 ounces (75 g). Here's the nutrient analysis for one serving of roasted bison: | Calories | 107 kcal | | Fat | 2 g | | Saturated Fat | 1 g | | Protein | 22 g | | Cabohydrate | 0 g | | Cholesterol | 62 mg | | Iron | 3 mg |
