Kate Schulz shares her unique perspective as both a ranch-raised dietitian and the nutrition expert for the New Mexico Beef Council, helping bridge the gap between food production and nutritional guidance.
• Family connection to agriculture spans generations, with her great-grandfather homesteading the Nebraska-Wyoming family ranch over 100 years ago
• Becoming a registered dietitian requires a master's degree, internship, national exam, and state licensure
• Common misconception that beef can't fit into heart-healthy diets contradicted by research studies showing lean beef's compatibility
• Three ounces of beef provides 25g of protein plus nine essential nutrients, making it naturally nourishing and sustaining
• Balanced protein consumption throughout the day (25-30g at meals, 10-15g at snacks) optimizes energy and satisfaction
• Leaner cuts of beef (look for "round" or "loin") provide flexibility for health-conscious meal planning
