Red meat includes those meats that are dark in color before cooking. E.g. beef, lamb, venison, bison. These meats contain more myoglobin than white meats like poultry and fish. Pork is also considered red meat by the USDA because it is red before cooking (also due to high amounts myoglobin). However, it has been advertised as "the other white meat" in an attempt to make it seem healthier.
