YuraCZ said:The point is that the turkey breast is literally no fat. Under 150 mg of PUFA per 100g which is one meal for me. This is important for me. It is a good source of protein and calcium/phosphorus ratio is easily corrected by eggshell powder..
I haven't really looked into turkey breast specifically, Yura.
At one point I did wonder how bad chicken breast would be.
I saw similar kinds of fat/PUFA numbers (similar to the levels you note for turkey, that is).
It made me wonder if those charts/numbers are reliable.
In any case, I did come away wondering if eating some chicken breast
would really be much worse than eating some beef or lamb.
The muscle meats of poultry and ruminants,
when I compared their make-up by using charts/figures available by perusing the internet...
there wasn't a big difference, as I recall, in terms of fat/PUFA content.
Peat has said, I believe, that if somebody uses poultry
(and here I guess he meant the usual PUFA-fed poultry)
as a big part of their protein source,
that that person will likely experience suppressed metabolism.
I guess mainly from the PUFA and amino profile.
But then too:
Peat wouldn't recommend using even ruminant muscle meats
as a big part of one's diet.
Because of the amino profile.
So...this has been one of those murky areas for me in PeatDom.
I will eat a little chicken breast sometimes if I crave meat,
as an alternative to my more regular beef and lamb.
