Because there's some risk of ingesting “mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, microplastic due to our polluted water supply,” try to avoid species such as swordfish or king mackerel and opt for cod or salmon instead. Poultry, such as chicken and turkey, is also great protein source, low in calories and saturated fat.

Read More »correction An earlier version of this story used the term “meat” to refer to many types of animal protein, including fish and poultry. The story has been updated to differentiate between meat and other sources of animal protein. As an average consumer, you probably have a vague awareness of the nutritional value of your animal proteins — fish being better than red meat, for example. The issue can be complicated, because all animal proteins have pros and cons, research can come up with conflicting results, and studies can surprise us. For example, research suggests that in terms of cholesterol alone, eating white meat chicken is as bad for you as eating beef. Still, there’s a generally agreed upon hierarchy of nutritional value when it comes to animal protein and small shifts in your diet might have greater effects than you realize. In a study of the Danish population, researchers found that Danes could gain more than 7,000 years of healthy life annually if they ate the recommended quantity (12 ounces per week) of fish, while at the same time replacing red and processed meats in their diet. “It’s important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all healthier diet or meat per se,” said Janese Laster, a physician nutrition specialist in the District. Also crucial? “There are differences in farming practices, so throughout the United States, each person is getting different risks and benefits from the meats.” Keeping that in mind, here are some conclusions that can be made about different categories of animal protein, starting with the good.

Learn More »Most meat-eaters love a juicy hamburger or steak — but that should fall more in the indulgence zone, than in the category of dietary staple. The pros to red meat — which includes beef, pork, lamb, veal, venison and duck — are found in its minerals. Red meats can be great sources of iron and also pack “vitamin B12, zinc and protein, all of which are important nutrients,” said Amy Patton, a registered dietitian at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. The cons, however, are notable. “According to the American Institute of Cancer Research , red meat intake can possibly promote certain cancers such as colorectal cancer,” Patton said. “Cooking red meat at high temperatures may also increase cancer risk, and red meats tend to be higher in saturated fats than other protein sources.” The saturated fat may, in turn, increase your risk for cardiovascular disease. What should you probably avoid altogether, or at least only eat on a very rare occasion? Processed meats. “Essentially, this is any meat that has been preserved or had a chemical added, like bacon, bologna, pepperoni, beef jerky, hot dogs, sausage and deli meats,” Laster said. There are other ways to get your protein fix — without all the downsides . (The World Health Organization classifies processed meat as “ carcinogenic to humans .”) When it comes to overall health, saturated fat should be limited as much as possible. Lamb typically has more saturated fat — which can raise your levels of bad cholesterol, putting you at higher risk of cardiovascular disease — than beef or pork. T-bones, rib-eye and New York strip steak tend to be fattier forms of beef when compared to ground rounds, sirloin or flank steak. Pork is typically lowest in calories and saturated fat when compared with other red meats — as long as it isn’t processed into bacon or cured ham. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, you should not eat more than 12 to 18 ounces of red meat each week, or roughly three servings — but some experts suggest less is more. “Many trials have shown decreased progression or reversal of chronic diseases, cancer, obesity and metabolic syndrome, including diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, when you avoid processed red meats and greatly limit red meat consumption,” Laster said. A recent study published in the BMJ showed that increased red meat consumption leads to a higher risk of mortality. If you choose to consume red meat, keep it smart. “Select leaner cuts, and use more healthful cooking methods, such as baking or broiling rather than frying or grilling,” Patton said. Gans tells her clients that “round” or “loin” cuts are often leaner — think “pork tenderloin,” “loin chop” — when ordering off a menu or selecting at the store.
