Can you have venison as your lean and green and if so, does it count as 5 or 7 oz? Thanks. Any other info on wild meats would be helpful too...

Sorry that I missed your question here, Smiller. I just came upon it this morning.

I did reply to your inquiry in your other post about venison and jerky but here ya go in case someone else does a search for this topic.

After looking at the nutritional profile of venison I would recommend treating it as red meat and have about a 5 ounce serving of venison.
When preparing the meat to be cooked, select the leanest portion remove as much fat as possible and grill, broil or prepare without additional fat. Weigh the meat after cooking to be sure that you get a full 5 ounce serving.

Every once in a while a newbie will inquire about the lean portion size and it is surprising how much the weight changes when the raw meat, fish or poultry is cooked - we want to be sure that you get the full amount of protein needed. Hmmm...I just thought of something here...since the cooked meat weighs less than the raw portion, maybe we would weigh less after cooking! Hah!
