Beef

What it is

Beef is meat from cattle. The example used here is a cooked, pan-broiled patty made from ground beef labeled 90% lean and 10% fat.

What it does

For the named reference food, USDA lists 204 kcal, 25.2 g protein and 10.7 g total fat per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.

Research context and ingredient forms

Reference food: Beef, ground, 90% lean meat / 10% fat, patty, cooked, pan-broiled. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.

Using this information

The raw lean-to-fat designation identifies the product used; cooking changes its water and fat content. Other cuts, lean percentages, and cooking methods need different records.
