Why would they have mince beef in fluid ounces or milliliters or cups and no option for grams? Am I not looking in the right place? Trying to key in 500g mince beef for a recipe.

    It's a US thing, we use the term ground beef, instead of mince. Although, we do have minced meat pie in the US - I'm not a fan of it.

    Search MFP using the below syntax for these items to get the information MFP imported from the USDA (US Dept. of Agriculture) database. Use the one closest to what you think the lean/fat ratio is. Look for the green-checked items.

    beef ground 95% lean raw
    beef ground 90% lean raw
    beef ground 85% lean raw
    beef ground 80% lean raw
    beef ground 75% lean raw

    USDA database: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list
