"The reason prime rib seems to melt in your mouth is because it's full of tenderizing fat that, unfortunately, can't be trimmed away. Although it's unmarbled and looks lean, prime rib is the fattiest type of steak--typically 982 calories and 78 g fat for a broiled 1-pound, king-cut portion. That's equivalent to slightly more than two Big Macs."
This comes as a surprise to me. I thought that prime rib was lean IF you cut off and don't eat the visible fat (typically, with prime rib about 1/3 - 1/2 of it is fat which I always cut off). I had been thinking about having some prime rib for my birthday dinner tomorrow. Now I'm not so sure. Granted, it's a special day of celebration, but I don't want to eat something totally unhealthy. I've been trying to find calorie/fat/protein estimates for prime rib with all of the visible fat cut off after it's cooked, but I haven't been able to find anything.
If anyone can find any information on this, I would be hugely grateful.
