Calorie Savings – Ground Beef
Choosing the right meat is vital if you want to lose weight.
Don’t forget, in order to reduce our weight, we need to reduce calories-in until they are LESS than our calories-out. Exercise helps us to increase calories-out but we can also reduce calories-in by making better food calorie choices.
