Do some research - game meat is loaded with parasites and diseases not found in livestock. While it may be low fat it also can contain toxoplasmosis, salmonella, ecoli etc. Check out www.nokangaroomeat.org Besides that, there is the aspect of the extreme cruelty of how they kill the kangaroo babies - they are decapitated with a knife, stomped to death with someone's foot or battered to death against the bull-bars of a ute. Promoting kangaroo meat is endorsing this extreme and shameful cruelty that is approved in the 'Humane Code of Conduct for Shooting of Kangaroos'. Thanks, Phaedra Dear Amelia

I thought earlier in your article you said to avoid ham because it was much fattier than pork loin and that the latter was the preferred choice when it comes to pork!

I usually get the steaks so will definitely try the fillets next time. And your tip about how tender they can be is also very poignant. Many people assume a lean meat will be tough. Not good ol' skippy though! I am so pleased you like my site but very jealous you got to go skiing this year - I missed out. Happy reading and happy eating! Amelia Hi Clance,

I have so say, I was lucky enough to be coaxed onto Kangaroo when I was finishing school and have eaten it religiously since. I occasionally will cook an expensive beef Angus or lamb steak, but the saturated fat content is always really noticeable. Kangaroo is just so lean, light and - something you didn't mention (I don't think) - extraordinarily tender if cooked properly. I like my meat fairly rare and kangaroo accommodates this perfectly. I eat it every week and can't imagine living without it. So glad to be Aussie! Though I hear they're now importing Kanga meat all around the world. Also, to anyone yet to try kangaroo meat, I highly suggest starting off eating the fillet versions, rather than the steak versions. They are slightly more pricey, but are more representative of the uber-lean, delicious nature of this meat. Anyway, love the blog, and thanks for posting this, Amelia. Keep it up! Hi Amelia,

I always advise clients to buy organic as there is a lot of turkey products out there containing unnecessary hormones and chemicals, just like chicken. To put it in perspective, per 100g Turkey contains: 100 calories 1.66g fat 17.07g protein 1.44mg iron 70-80mg Cholesterol Hope that clarifies things. Amelia Hi Ryan,

Where do you think these items fall on the list for weight loss or are they just an over-hyped substitute for some of the other meats listed? Thanks Hi Amelia, I noticed this article fails to mention ground turkey or turkey breast.
