Not all deli meats are created equal - here are the best and worst ones for you

Beef bologna doesn't fare a whole lot better than salami, though it is cholesterol-free. It's still high in fat, sodium, and has 150 calories per 2-oz. serving (about two slices).

A New York deli staple, pastrami doesn't fare much better than its processed meat counterparts, though it is lower in calories at 80 per serving. One 2-oz. serving (about two slices) has a quarter of your daily sodium intake and 11% of your daily cholesterol, though it also has a quarter of your recommended daily protein intake.

Surprisingly, honey ham's high sodium content outweighed some of its more positive attributes in this ranking. A 2-oz. serving has just 60 calories 20% of your daily recommended protein, but about a quarter of your daily sodium intake. Still, it's a relatively low-fat option with only 2% of your daily intake per serving.

With its low sodium and high protein content, roast beef is the best choice among the red meat options. It still has 11% of your daily cholesterol intake, but it also has a fair amount of potassium and iron compared to some of the lighter meats.

Honey ham's smoked cousin rose in the ranks thanks to its slightly lower sodium content (19% daily intake vs. honey ham's 24%) and 5% of your recommended daily potassium intake. Like honey ham, black forest smoked ham has 60 calories per 2-oz. serving.

If you thought plain, dependable oven-roasted turkey would win this contest, think again. Coming in at #2, roasted turkey has slightly more sodium (15% of your daily intake), which puts it at a slight disadvantage. It's still a great, low-calorie, high-protein option compared to others on this list, with 26% of your daily protein and 60 calories per 2-oz. serving.

In the end, smoked turkey reigned supreme, thanks to its lower sodium content (10% daily intake per 2-oz. serving) at just 60 calories per serving. However, unlike roasted turkey, smoked turkey does contain 9% of your daily intake of cholesterol.
