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.
