Steak?

[tbell324]

Is a 16 oz steak, half of a baked potatoe, and salad a good meal to eat on a cut? I try to cut most of the fat off of it.

yes as long as it fits into your daily requirements

[coolspin27]

Thats a lot of calories in one sitting in one meal... but if it fits in your macros.... i couldn't do it but I am not you.

About 150 grams of protein in that steak

yum yum lol,

i could polish it off easy lol

love steak, but i wouldn't eat the 16oz in 1 sitting, only because it doesnt fit into my cals for the day, I aim for 400 cals/meal which would be ~6-7oz of a nice cut of steak, ~8oz of that top sirloin garbage, give me strip or give me death

[tbell324]

its probably about a 9oz steak without the bone and fat though

[KowboysUp]

Well, that's a big difference. Like others have said, I'd probably stay away from 16 OZ just because that's like... a third of all the food I eat in a day.

But I had 10 OZ for dinner the other day and it was great!

It's probably a mix of solid and bro science, but I've repeatedly heard that red meat helps with muscle anabolism (building muscle), and if it fits in your macros it couldn't hurt either way, right?

Enjoy

9 oz might OK if you planned it out for the day. That's about 600 calories in the steak alone but baked potato is about 160 without butter. So you're talking 750+ for that meal.

A 5 oz steak and baked potato is probably a better fit for most people: 420 calories or so, throw in some broccoli and a pat of butter and you're still under 500 calories.

eat the steak, ditch the potato.. at least thats what I would do.

replace the potato with some steamed veggies.

Steak has about 50-60 calories per ounce (depending on cut, if trimmed), Chicken breast has about 35 calories and generally is a lot cheaper.

So when counting I can generally count chicken as 35 calories per ounce? how much protein?

This ^^^ worry about your total daily intake. Not one meal.

Depends...steak is cheaper here at a local store then chicken.

[Tankstar]

Technically, Too big a portion. But sometimes, you gotta do what u gotta do. On a 6meal-a-day diet... Half that steak, 2cups of Spinach/brocolli/mushroom/artichoke/asparagus/carrot ANYTHING, other than a plain potato, b...

That's why I said "generally" because some cuts of steak are similar price or cheaper than steaks but others are much higher priced. Here I can get a 4lb bag of frozen chicken breasts for about $5. I can't get a decent cut of steak (6-8 oz) for less than $3.

Steak is the bomb at a local market here. They are really lean cuts of chuck steak...pretty much no fat on them....I can get 2-3 huge ones in a pack for like 4-5$ sometimes. If I cut them up I can pry get 6 steaks out of them....I usually eat a whole huge one myself though....OM NOM....too good to only eat a little one.

Steak is awesome. 16oz of it is pretty big though. If it fits into your cals, go for it, but I go with a smaller portion.

6oz top sirloin covered in grilled onions with a bit of A-1 and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Oh man, I just ate breakfast and now I'm hungry again. Damn it.
