If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, that doesn’t usually mean that you have to give up eating meat. But it does mean that you need to be a little more careful about the meat that you choose to include in your diet. Some meats are higher in saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories than others. These types of meat can raise blood cholesterol levels if eaten often, and can also be a factor in weight gain, which makes diabetes harder to control. Here’s our quick guide to choosing what kind of meat to eat when you have diabetes.

Quick Facts

Meat (1 ounce = 7 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrate, fat varies) One ounce of meat is about the size of your thumb; 3 ounces is the size of a deck of cards. No more than 3 ounces of protein at a meal is recommended. (Try to eat meats from this page only; unfortunately, this means nothing fried.)
