Each 100g serving delivers 3.57mg of zinc (32% DV). Daily consumption easily meets your zinc needs, supporting immune function and wound healing. However, chronic high zinc intake (above 40mg/day) can interfere with copper absorption, and this food is low in copper (0.05mg), so over time you risk copper deficiency, which can cause anemia and neurological issues.
At 1389 kcal per 100g, this is an energy-dense food. Eating it daily without adjusting other intake likely creates a calorie surplus, leading to weight gain. The 30g of fat (38% DV) is mostly saturated, which can raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular disease risk over months.
You get 14.35g protein (29% DV) per 100g, which supports muscle maintenance. But with zero carbs and fiber, this food lacks the glucose and gut-supporting fiber your body needs. Daily reliance on it may cause constipation and low energy, especially if you don't pair it with vegetables or whole grains.
Verdict
This ground beef is a potent protein and zinc source, but its extreme fat and calorie content makes it unsuitable as a daily staple unless you're meticulously managing your total intake and balancing with high-fiber, low-fat foods.
⚠️ Who Should Avoid
