Beef Nilaga

A 1/2-cup serving of cooked cabbage contains only 22 calories, 5 carbohydrates and no fat, making it a safe addition to any diet. Apart from C and K, other vitamins in cabbage include the B vitamin family, with the exception of B-12, and traces of A and E. Minerals found in the same serving are manganese, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and selenium. Cabbage also contains a fair amount of fiber, which helps fill you up and aids with weight loss.

Grass fed beef on the other hand is higher in beneficial fatty acids, according to a new report by the Union of Concerned Scientists. Grass-fed beef may have some heart-health benefits that other types of beef don't have. When compared with other types of beef, grass-fed beef may have:

• Less total fat
• More heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
• More conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that's thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks
• More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E
