Re: Posting and high zinc foods

[Guest guest]

Francesca and all,

I tried to post this earlier but I think the message got zapped into

cyberspace. I noticed others were having problems too. Francesca

asked about high zinc food other than oysters. Beef is very high in

zinc, as well as iron (which is difficult for the body to absorb from

veges), and selenium. A 6 oz siloin steak with all fat trimmed is

365 calories and has 71% RDA'a of zinc, 55% iron, 151% selenium, 237%

B12. As we know it does have a high amount of fat (particulatly

saturated fat)so moderation in fat intake is important that day. Add

a baked sweet potato, a large stalk of brocholi, half a cup of FF

yogurt with 5 stawberries and you pretty much a Walford mega-meal for

665 calories. Not bad for the classic old American meat and potatos

meal. I tend to eat beef 3-4 times a month. Not a steady diet of

it, but enough.
