10% maximum fat ground beef

[kxtreme]

I just recently bought some 10% fat ground beef and they were sold as burger patty circles. anyone know the nutrition facts on 1 of these, calories fat?

well its 10% fat 90% protein!

although it can get confusing a bit, since 10% of the macronutrients are fat, not calories! (some labels list 10% as 10g of fat per 100g, when in reality, chicken is 10% of calories from fat)

if you REALLY want lean, ground beef, i would suggest buying yourself a mincer, getting some lean rump steak, chopping off all the fat (if its already lean there shouldnt be much on it, depending on how good the butcher is ) then putting it through the mincer, you will get better beef this way, and leaner too
i belive a lean, rump steak only has 2.5g of fat per 100g, which is only about 1g more than chicken! who says you cant eat red meat when cutting!

I'd eat more red meat if I knew the best cuts to get

i know but what im asking is how many calories, fats, protein are in a burger sized 10% fat ground beef.
