<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Buffalo Meat Is Healthy
Buffalo meat is actually one of the healthier meat choices available. It has fewer calories and less cholesterol and fat per serving than chicken, beef or pork. It is protein-rich and has vitamins B6 and B12, iron, selenium, riboflavin, niacin, copper, zinc, phosphorus and omega-3 fatty acids.
On the Other: Buffalo Is a Red Meat
Buffalo meat is red, and red meat in excess can be bad for your health. In fact, The American Institute of Cancer Research recommends that you eat no more than 18 ounces of red meat per week.
Bottom Line
Generally, white meat and fish are considered more healthy than red meats like buffalo meat. That said, red meat is nutrient rich, so it can be consumed, but in moderation.
