Well barbecue time is fast approaching :)
I have check both hamburgers & chicken burgers on here and it doesn't
Say whether it includes the bun ? I don't eat or like buns or breads , just
Checking if these calorie amount includes the buns , if it does it would,adjust my intake

    Search for "hamburger patty" or "chicken burger patty" to compare--

    Search USDA, your percentage of fat in your ground meat - raw, and divide by the number of patties you make.

    Unless the listing your looking at is a recipe, it will be the item ( as packaged ) from the supermarket.

    So, if its a frozen box of White Castle sliders, it will be just that ( bun and all ). If its a package of fresh patties, it will be just the patties ( meat & seasoning, etc ).

    If your making your own, use the raw data, and calculate/enter by weight in grams, to get best accuracy.
