What do these nutritional terms mean??

Hi all,

I came back from the grocery store last Thursday after training, headed to the grocery store afterward, and decided to treat myself. I got two filet mignon steaks for $16, but figured I wanted a nice, juicy protein source to reward myself for hard workouts.

I got home, weighed out my steaks, and when I went to enter that info onto MyFitnessPal, a ****storm began. I found a MILLION results for beef tenderloin, filet mignon, etc. etc. Anyway, I decided to go with the generic "filet mignon, raw" option... but was wondering what terms like "1/8 fat," "lean and fat," and "lean only" meant.

I also posted a pic of a part of one of my meals tonight... 6.7 ounces of beautiful filet!!
Based on that pic, what type of info would that steak fall under?

Reps for best answers.

The terms are entered in by the users, so the name isn't going to mean a specific thing for every entry.

Your files look very lean to me. Pick an option that represents a leaner cut of beef as opposed to a fatty cut. It's all estimations anyways.

it's whether or not the fat has been trimmed off, the steak you bought has..so it would be lean only

Yeah, that's what I'm actually using now as a result. Thanks a lot, repped.
