Lunch meats—also known as cold cuts, luncheon meats, cooked meats, sliced meats, cold meats, sandwich meats, delicatessens, and deli meats—are precooked or cured meats that are sliced and served cold or hot. They are typically served in sandwiches or on a tray.
While there is convincing evidence that cold cuts can up your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer, this doesn't mean you have to nix them from your diet altogether. They are an easy and convenient way to get protein, iron and vitamin B12.
Deli ham, turkey, and roast beef are the most commonly eaten cold cuts in the U.S. Cold cuts are high in protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, but they are also high in saturated fat and sodium. It is important to be aware of those factors if you have high blood pressure or heart disease.
