Ground Beef - Nutrient Calculator

Found this article and a Ground Beef Nutrient Calculator - Thought it was interesting

Ground Beef Calculator

The USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory has launched a new nutrient search program, the Ground Beef Calculator, which provides the user with nutrient information for retail ground beef products containing any level of fat between 5% and 30%. The Ground Beef Calculator generates a nutrient profile based on the fat (or lean) content of retail ground beef and the preparation method specified (cooked patties, loaves, or crumbles). This program complements the ground beef data currently available in the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

Click here to start the ground beef calculator and then follow the instructions for entering the percentage fat or lean, and cooking method.
