Aim for well done

Although adequate protein consumption is important for good health, it's still necessary to pay attention to the type of meats you eat and how they're cooked. Banned options include raw meats (steak tartare, beef carpaccio) and wild game meats (marinated and smoked). As for cooking methods, seared meat is also unacceptable because the risk of bacteria- and parasitic-related illnesses is still there. To avoid issues, always opt for a meat temperature of well done.
