Macronutrients and calories of rabbit meat

Fats Rabbit meat’s  fat content is significantly lower  compared to other meats; consequently, it also contains fewer  calories.  Instead, rabbit meat is  richer in proteins,  containing almost double the amount of all amino acids than chicken or beef. A study has found rabbit meat to have  lower cholesterol levels than chicken  and almost  half the cholesterol levels found in beef  (5). However, meat from  wild rabbits  has almost double the amount of cholesterol compared to domesticated rabbit meat. As seen in the infographic below, most of the fat in rabbit meat is  saturated,  closely followed by  monounsaturated fats,  leaving  polyunsaturated fats  in last place.
