There is a very common and may be completely correct as that white meat is better than red meat. First of all what contents actually make it worse than white meat?
Secondly, we need to like completely exclude this from diet or there is some recommended amount?
Your comments and replies are welcomed,please.

Since I am purely vegetarian, therefore not much knowledge about meat types and differences among them. Nevertheless, I would like to share the following useful links and a PDF attachment for your kind perusal.

Beef and venison (and all game animals) are examples of red meat whereas parts of the chicken and fish (some also include pork) are considered white meat. In general they recommend you minimize eating red meat and eat more white meat for protein.
In general white meat is called poultry (chicken, turkey, rabbit) and red meat refers to beef, horse and lamb.
As far as proteins there is little difference between the two meat kinds, however the fat content is not at all similar. White meat is leaner and has less saturated fat. Red meat is full of iron and saturated fat therefore its calorie amount is far higher.
White meat is generally better. Compared to white meat, red meat can put people at risk of developing cancer and heart problems. Red meat and white meat contain amino acids although they are digested better when eating white meat. It isn’t a question of choosing one over the other, as with all food types you should consume in moderation and consider your own nutritional requirements.

We get red meats from adult or gamey mammals like beef, horse, and goat. These are red in color when raw and turns dark when you cook them. Red meats have more myoglobin than any other meats. Myoglobin is the cell which transports oxygen to muscles in the bloodstream. Most of you misapprehend benefits of red meats for all the cholesterol, high protein, and saturated fat content.

Red meats simply have more myoglobin, which are the cells that transport oxygen to muscles in the bloodstream. Muscles used more frequently are darker. This is why chicken and turkey legs are slightly darker than breast meat - because legs are used more, more myoglobin is present, creating a darker appearance. Although it can depend on the culture or cuisine, white meat is generally classified as poultry (chicken and turkey), while red meat typically refers to beef, pork, and lamb.
The biggest difference between the two is fat content. White meat is a leaner source of protein, with a lower fat content. Red meat contains higher levels of fat, but also contains higher levels of vitamins like iron, zinc and B vitamins.

Both white and red meat have benefits; if you eat meat, it's a good idea to include small amount of both in your diet. Opt for leaner cuts of red meat, like those that end in "-loin" (sirloin, tenderloin, etc). Further, trim visible fat around the edges to reduce fat intake and avoid charring while cooking. In this way, you can try to reduce the disadvantages of eating red meat.
Both white and red meats have their pros and cons. If you eat meat, it’s a good idea to include small portions of both as part of a balanced diet. Aim for white meat more often than red meat, but enjoy a variety to reap benefits of both. But there are claims that red meat (mutton, lamb, beef, pork) should generally be avoided, while white meat (chicken, duck, fish) is encouraged.
