his doc says "limit red meat" due to having one kidney - but what about buffalo meat?

husband had to have a kidney removed due to cancer, doctor says to limit red meat to one serving per week - but other (seemingly "high protein" foods?) meats like chicken, fish, etc, are fine.

... but what about buffalo? it seems really healthy (healthier than the ground chicken & turkey i've found) & we love the taste.

here's what i'm hoping someone can clear up for me: if he can eat all the fish & chicken he wants, with those items being obviously high in protein, why *wouldn't* he be able to eat buffalo? could the doctor be talking about beef (since buffalo isn't very popular)?

yes... i've tried getting him to ask his doctor, but i don't see this happening any time soon.

Update:

pearlmar: guess you didn't read the question, bro. i wasn't asking if buffalo *was* red meat (it's pretty obvious that it is) i'm looking for clarification...

I GUESS I'M ASKING: why is one form of protein okay for the kidney, but not another?
