What makes ground beef so powerful?
Ground beef ranges from about 150 calories per 100 g for 95% lean to well over 250 for 70% lean, so the lean-to-fat ratio on the pack matters more than the brand. A raw entry like this one loses water and fat when cooked, and cooked beef has more calories per 100 g because it is more concentrated. Draining the fat after browning removes some of the calories that were in the pan.
