    IME, the old one is okay, just somewhat clunky and could (and should) be improved. The new one has never worked for me. (It gives you an option to use the old one.)

    I'd use it for something like the meatballs, though--it would work well for that.

    Eat your steak. I choose not to eat red meat because my stomach doesn't like it. I don't miss it.

    I have a question then is MFP accurate in telling me that lean ground hamburger has 2 calories per gram. I had three small meatballs last night (200 grams) and that out me in at 400 calories?!

    No, that's not correct unless you beefed up (pun intended) your meatballs with a whole lot of insoluable fiber or some other non-absorbed calories.

    I didn't put anything in other than about quarter cup of bread crumbs and I egg white for the pound of beef I cooked up

    Many (many, many, many) of the entries in the MFP database are incorrect. It would appear you chose one of the incorrect entries.

    While we're on the subject, can you help me please with finding the most accurate entries? I read a while back to try & find entries without an asterisk. I've also heard I should search USDA. Thanks so much in advance!

    I think beef, even the lean cuts, have too much fat, making them too calorie dense for me to enjoy on a regular basis. That said, you can always fit it into your calorie / macro goals.

    Eat it. Steak is amazeballs. That is all. :lol:

    Same here, sometimes I honestly do feel like biting a cow.
