17. Bison

Compared to other red meats, bison has less fat and fewer calories. A four-ounce bison burger patty has about six grams of fat and 17 grams of protein, making it one of the leanest meats around. In addition, bison meat is a great source of vitamin B12. In the US, the recommendation for B12 is 2.4 mcg per day for adults due to its vital role in red blood cell reproduction.
