Hi guys! I've got an 8oz rump steak from the butcher's but I've no idea which entry to use! The entry with the green tick brings it out at around 275 calories but most other entries are almost double this!!!

Which entry would you use!! I'm so confused!

    I use this guide that has lots of nutrition info on different cuts and just log whatever entry on mfp is closest to that:

    275 calories seems pretty low for a rump steak. Based on same from a large supermarket chain (8oz is around 230g - so you're looking at about 400 cals):

    Thanks so much guys! Very helpful! I'll not be going with the 275 cals then! 🤭

    The different calories being shown is the difference between cooked vs. raw.

    8 ozs of raw rump is 289 calories
    8 ozs of cooked rump is 419 calories

    both of these numbers are from the usda database

    I first search in the USDA database, get the syntax, and plug it into MFP.

    I see you went with "morisons rump steak - rump steak" - I suggest avoiding all meat entries that don't specify raw or cooked.
