Meat is rich in proteins and fats.

The major nutrients in our food are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. In addition, food containing roughage and water are also needed by our body.

All these nutrients are required to fulfill the nutritional requirements of our body.

Hence, meat alone is not sufficient to provide all nutrients to the body.
