When you look up the nutrition facts for a steak, does it list if the fat is eaten, or do you have to cut the fat out to get these nutritional numbers? What I mean is basically, is the fat incorporated in the meat (nonvisible) in the nutrition info numbers, or is that including visible fat?
for example, if a 3oz sirloin steak has 24 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbs, and 5 grams of fat according to a nutritional information site, and I don't trim the visible fat when I eat it, is the fat content I'm eating really higher? or did they take that part into account, meaning that if you DO trim that fat, you're actually getting less fat than what the facts say?

I KNOW that it varies from cut to cut. that's not the question. READ THE QUESTION - if you can't answer it, don't.

Do you stay up at night worrying about this. Trim the fat and you should be all right.

While the new year approaches, you decided to go to diet and get your weight at a healthy level. So you're ready for the new year you want to take the time to choose a plan. But what should you choose? What do really work this time? You do not want to be a bad choice and end up losing just money and time.

If you're so concered about saturated animal fat, WHY ARE YOU EATING STEAK? Eat something healthier, red meat is bad for you either or anyways.

the amount of fat depends on the cut of beef. 4 oz. of fillet mignon has substantially more fat than 4 oz. of top round.
