How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on September 30, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.
Filet mignon is cut from the beef tenderloin — the most tender and one of the leanest cuts. These figures are for grilled lean fillet steak.

*Where the numbers come from
Values per 100 g come from a single record of an open food composition table: UK CoFID 2021 (McCance and Widdowson), food code 18-020, “Beef, fillet steak, grilled, lean” — the measured composition of this exact food, not an average across tables. Rounded. Carbohydrates are total carbohydrate, fiber included, as on a US Nutrition Facts label; salt is sodium × 2.5. Table licenses are on the data sources page.

Healthier swaps for Filet Mignon
Why swap: filet mignon has a fair amount of saturated fat (3.6 g per 100 g). The swaps below fix that at the same calories.
How we pick
A swap is offered only for a real problem with the food (for grades C–E an amber traffic light counts too), from the same or a neighbouring category, in a serving matched to the same calories (±25%; drinks glass for glass) and no more than one and a half times the original weight, a full Nutri-Score grade better and with a noticeable gain per serving. We don't suggest “salad instead of pizza”.
