In the paleo, keto and especially carnivore communities, people usually praise animal fat, also for it's "high nutrient-density". But all sources I've looked at show that there aren't a lot of nutrients at all.
I usually use Nährwertrechner, an incredibly detailed german food database.
Here's pure beef fat: Nährwerte Rind Fett
Besides fat macronutrient calories, the rest is insignificant (and it's not because they're not measured, they all are). I'm especially disappointed by the retinol content.
Not to mention the total amount of fat in the table. Nobody is going to eat 500g of pure beef fat, but 500g of lean muscle is far from impossible to consume on a daily basis.
The lean muscle and organ parts are actually where all the nutrients are.
So where does this misinformation come from?
