Kangaroo meat good for protein?
hey guys saw on tv tonight about how kangaroo meat is leaner and has alot more protein than steak. but this was a cooking show and they talk crap sometimes. anyone heard anything about it? i mean kangaroo is now cheaper than steak ( in australia at least) and i reckon it tastes better so do you guys know anything about it in relation to bulking?

okay for beef this is the information!

Kangaroo seems to be a pretty good alterntive especially for us in australia! Apparently it is great for cutting because of it's extremely low fat content and high protein content

If it tastes good I will try to find and eat it.
Anyone ever play those old "Streets of Rage" games on Genesis? If so, can you remember kangaroos in any other way than with boxing gloves?

Kangaroo > Beef in nutritional value.
I'm not sure about taste, though I do know that Bison tastes exactly the same as beef and it is healthier/leaner than beef.

I'll have to ask my dealer next time I go to buy ecstacy for some K-Roo. As long as it isn't laced with Angel Dust.
AJ: "Hey Kyle, are you sure about trying to deadlift that, it's two hundred pounds over your PR..?"
Me: "Don't worry ::twitch:: I got this one for reps!"
Lifts up, colon explodes
AJ: "HOLY &*#@"
Me: "Yeah..uhh..I'm gonna go do some rows"
