How Beef Stacks Up
 
Beef Takes On The Competition

Beef has a nutrient bundle in every bite. To get the same amount of zinc that’s found in a 3 oz. serving of lean beef, you would have to eat thirteen 3 oz. servings of tuna meat. See how beef stacks up against the competition on other nutrients. Just one 3 oz. serving of lean beef is an excellent source of 5 (protein, zinc, vitamin B12, selenium and phosphorus) and a good source of 4 (niacin, vitamin B6, iron and riboflavin) essential nutrients you need every day.
