CONS

It is also high in calories and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is an excellent source of protein and iron, important for maintaining healthy muscles, bones, and blood.
Tomato-based sauces like ketchup and pizza sauce are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that may promote heart health and reduce the risk of cancer. However, they can also be high in added sugars and salt, so moderation is key.
Low-fat cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella can provide a good source of calcium without the added saturated fat.
