Can You Eat Venison On a Calorie-Controlled Diet?
Yes. If you are trying to reduce calories to lose weight, venison or other game meat is fine. It is relatively low in calories compared with other meats, and has a good nutritional value.
As stated, venison (as well as other game meats) has a low caloric value. However, as well as counting the number of calories you eat, try calculating the amount of calories you burn in exercise. A 30-minute fast walk each day typically burns 200 calories.
- 3 pound venison roast
- oil for browning
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup dry white or red wine
- 5 carrots, cut in 2-inch pieces
- 3 celery stalks, cut in 3-inch pieces
- 3 potatoes, quartered then halved
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon parsley. Coat meat with the flour mixture and place in a Dutch oven. Brown it on all sides in a little oil. Add the broth, wine and any remaining flour mixture and stir. Cover and bake the roast for about 1.5 hours. Add the vegetables and bake for another hour.
