Try the Turkey - Myth vs. Truth; low-fat ground beef and fat intake - Brief Article

Better Nutrition, Dec, 2003

MYTH: Low-fat ground beef will slash your fat intake.

TRUTH: The word "lean" on most ground beef labels refers to the non-fat portion of the meat. Three ounces of cooked ground beef labeled "80 percent lean" contains a third of a day's worth of saturated fat. If you really want to cut your saturated fat intake--and still eat meat--ask your butcher to grind up turkey breast but without the skin.
