Deli Ham versus Sliced Turkey Breast Review

Rating:

Ham and Turkey
A lot of people, myself included, choose turkey over other meats like chicken or pork, because it is supposed to have less calories. But, in my opinion, turkey tends to have less flavor than ham. This week, I decided to see how deli ham and sliced turkey would stack up against each other nutritionally. The contenders are: Healthy Choice Honey Ham vs. Oscar Mayer Thin Sliced Turkey Breast. The nutrition facts are below:

	Healthy Choice Honey Ham	Oscar Meyer Sliced Turkey Breast
Calories	60	60
Total Fat (% daily value)	2	2
Saturated Fat (% DV)	3	0
Cholesterol (% DV)	8	7
Sodium (% DV)	19	26
Total Carbohydrate (g)	2	2
Protein	9	9
Vitamins	none	none

So, it turns out that they are both about the same in nutrition, they are both plumped up with water, and both are high in sodium. I tend to prefer the taste of the honey ham, but turkey is pretty good too. At least now that I have the facts, I will choose based on what I am in the mood for or which is cheaper, and not because one is supposed to be better for you.
The rating below is for both products.
