probably a stupid question
....i buy mince with 20% fat...so if i buy 1kg of mince does that mean 200 grams of the weight is actually just fat?
Yes.I am just wondering if i should get the dearer meat...if 200 grams is just fat then thats a waste of money,
Get a food processor and make your own mince.0 -

Yes, for every 100g of meat 20g of it is fat.
If you looking at calories or watching your weight 20% is bad stuff. Take this Tesco 20% mince. 100g of meat is 20g of fat. Each gram of fat is 9 calories. So 180 calories worth of fat for every 100g of meat. The total calories including fat is only 252, so if you look beyond the volume/grams and into calories you'll see 20% mince is actually 71% fat
The same for whole milk. Typically it's 3.5% fat by volume, but in terms of calories it's also got a very high fat content, a lot more than 3.5% 0 -

Aye but skimmed/low fat milk has higher sugars/lactose and I know which I'd rather have. Fat doesn't make you fat. That's mostly a nonsense, unless you're shoveling lard into you by the bucket. Sugar however is the real baddie. People on high animal fat diets are on average healthier than those on high sugar diets.TouchingVirus wrote: »The same for whole milk.

Calories are also a nonsense. How do they measure calories? By sticking the item into a glorified oven and burning it and measuring the heat/energy given off. However this does not equate to a bioavailable "calorie". Take the usual one "alcohol is very high in calories". Well yes as it's inflammable. You can set light to brandy and it goes up like methylated spirits(which it kinda is). This does not mean that the alcohol in a neat vodka is in any shape or form bioavailable to the human body and will "turn into fat"*. It's the sugars in alcoholic drinks that are absorbed and could fatten you up. More like the chinner dinner after the feed of beer.. Coal burns and burns very well and has a high calorific content. Does this mean you'd put on weight if you added ground up coal to your food? Nope.
TL;DR? So called calories in food are not created equal. Not by a long shot.
*alcohol does cause insulin changes which may lead to issues, but that's an entirely different mechanism.Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

What's the more than 95%I buy the less than 5% mince, had it tonight when I made a low fat taco chipIt was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
