That's a very good point. Quality of meat isn't something that seems to be accounted for in studies linking meat consumption to various diseases/health issues.

Out of curiousity, do you eat a lot of vegetables?




Estimating here but I'd put my breakdown by calorie as:

-45% high quality meat (grassfed, pastured, cage-free depending on species)

-10% low quality meat (traditional supermarket stuff)

-30% green leafy vegetables (read: very low non-dietary-fiber carbs)

-10% fruit or carby veggies (e.g. tubers)

-5% grains (never gluten containing)

So I definitely have other confounding factors that might influence my CRP number: low carbs, very low grains. That said, I arrived at my current diet via 3.5 years of A/B testing what works for me, optimizing for specifically what causes my digestion the least inflammation. I'm very happy with the results.
