90% lean / 10% fat ground beef — middle ground between leanness and flavor.

Good iron and B12 source. 80/20 has more fat (and flavor); 93/7 is the leanest common option. 90/10 is the daily-driver pick.

Best for

  • higher-fat protein meals — 27g protein with 10g fat / 100g
  • people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets

Watch out

  • double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
  • assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here

How to log it

Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 4 oz patty (~113g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Works when the rest of the day is lighter on oils and nuts. Watch the weekly fat budget, not just the meal selfie.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Fat already drives density for ground beef (90/10). Extra oil or breading still moves the log — typical kcal per 100g:

Pan-fried with added oil

Do not double-count butter already in the cut
Breaded & fried

Breading + oil on top of fish/meat fat
Restaurant glazed / sauced
~225–284
Sweet or creamy finishes

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
