About This Food

Venison, or deer meat, is a lean red meat enjoyed in many cultures, especially where deer hunting is common. The calories in venison is approximately 127.5 per serving (around 100g). It's a good source of protein and iron, crucial for muscle building and energy. Venison also provides vitamin B12, important for nerve function. Generally, venison is lower in fat than beef, making it a suitable option for those watching their fat intake. Moderate portions are recommended, such as 3-4 ounces per day, as part of a balanced diet. Because of its leanness, it can be beneficial for weight management. For a healthier preparation, consider grilling or roasting venison rather than frying.
