Venison has 0 grams of fiber in every cut, from tenderloin to ground meat and jerky. Venison fiber has to come from the beans, grains and vegetables you cook with it, and while the meat is very low in fat, it runs higher in cholesterol than many beef steaks.

Lamb has 0 grams of fiber in every cut, from lean roasted leg to a fatty rib rack. Lamb fiber only shows up when a dish adds plants like chickpeas, peas or bulgur, while the cut you choose can change the fat by more than four times.

Steak has 0 grams of fiber, whether it’s a lean top round or a marbled ribeye. Steak fiber comes entirely from the sides, so the cut you order mainly changes the fat, and the plate around it decides the fiber.

Fresh pork has 0 grams of fiber in every cut, from tenderloin to spareribs. Pork fiber only appears when a sauce or side brings plants along, so the cut you choose mainly changes the fat, and the sides decide the fiber.

Pork, turkey and chicken sausage all have 0 grams of fiber, even chicken apple sausage. Sausage fiber only shows up in some plant-based links, at up to about 2 grams, so most of a sausage meal’s fiber has to come from what you cook with it.

Ham has 0 grams of fiber, whether it’s sliced deli ham, a holiday roast or prosciutto. The ham fiber in a meal comes from what you serve with it, and choosing the right ham mostly comes down to sodium.

Bacon has 0 grams of fiber, and so do turkey bacon and Canadian bacon. The only bacon fiber you’ll find comes from meatless bacon bits or from the beans, greens and whole grains you cook bacon with.

Plain shrimp has no fiber, since it’s an animal food with almost no carbohydrate. The only shrimp fiber you’ll see on a label comes from breading and thickeners, so the fiber in a shrimp meal depends on the vegetables, grains and beans you serve with it.

Tuna has 0 grams of fiber, whether it comes in a can of light tuna, a pouch of albacore or a seared yellowfin steak. Any tuna fiber on your plate comes from what you mix in or serve alongside it, like beans, vegetables and whole grains.

Salmon has 0 grams of fiber in every form, from a grilled sockeye fillet to canned pink salmon and lox. What it brings instead is protein, vitamin D and omega 3 fats, so your salmon fiber total comes from the sides.

Turkey has 0 grams of fiber, whether you roast the breast, cook it ground or buy it sliced. Your turkey fiber total comes entirely from what shares the plate, like beans, vegetables, whole grains and fruit.

Plain meat, poultry and fish have a meat fiber content of zero, because dietary fiber only comes from plants. The few meat products that list fiber get it from breadcrumbs, coatings or added plant fibers.
