View Full Version : quick question about sausage! MAXOUT Wed, April 7th, 2004, 11:15 AM I picked up a few boxes of those Boca breakfast patties and meatless burgers that John eats to try them out. They are great by the way!! I also picked up a box of turkey sausages and was just wondering if that might be too much fat? 1 serving is: 11g fat(3g sat.), 0 carbs., and 9g protein LiveWire Wed, April 7th, 2004, 11:24 AM The fat seems kind of high for what is supposed to be lean sausage. I buy Jimmie Dean Fat Free sausage which is all pork (don't really care for turkey sausage) and here is the nutritional breakdown for a 2.5oz serving. calories 90 fat 2g sat 1g cholesterol 35mg sodium 410mg carbohydrate 1g protein 11g They also make one that is 50% less fat, but I don't know what the breakdown is for that. daveo Wed, April 7th, 2004, 11:32 AM I also picked up a box of turkey sausages and was just wondering if that might be too much fat? 1 serving is: 11g fat(3g sat.), 0 carbs., and 9g protein That's a larger fat-to-protein ratio (11:9 > 1:1) than I'd take to consider it a protein source. I'd call that one a fat source with some protein thrown in ;) Still, so far I've found that it's not the amount of fat per-item, it's the amount of fat per-day (and the overall balance) that's most important.

Thats about all the bad fat im gunna get in today, well except for the salmon im gunna have for lunch, but thats good fats. So i guess its ok. I probly wont be buying it again though once i finish this box. Thanx for the opinions!

Maybe once a week. |
