    Multiply 220 by 4 for a pound of fresh never frozen ground beef. This source does come is free growth hormones but it is still is my preferred fast food Keto meal with a lot of mustard and regular coffee that is 25% half and half milk so three senior cups is 360 calories with a lot of protein. I am trying to hit 100+ grams of protein daily so this will give me about 50% in one meal. The mustard will add many types of plants to my diet.

    This will be the calories after cooking the 100% beef patties. Salt and pepper is added in the kitchen.

    Mustard is just mustard seed with vinegar, sugar, salt and some spices. Certainly not a meaningful source of "many types of plants" in anyone's diet, even if you drown your burgers in it. ;)

    And to the OP: If I'm uncertain as to the fat percentage of my ground beef, I log it as 80% to err on the side of caution.

    Sounds like you may need to change your mustard source if what you listed is factual.

    If you're claiming that yellow mustard counts as "many types of vegetables", do you also count grasping at straws as "vigorous exercise"?

    Thanks. I have always written my own ad copy by reading as much as I can find. Below is a good example of copy that I read and use often.

    A pound of ground beef, previously frozen or not, is 454 grams. And, it is about 2.5 calories per gram, give or take.

    Mince is one of my fav go-to dinners, as I like chilli and tacos and spag bolg. But omgosh the calories make me want to cry!

    I live in NZ, so all our beef is grass fed, it's still high calorie. We don't get turkey mince here (I've never seen it in shops) so I can't substitute even chicken mince can be tricky to find.

    If you bulk it out with tinned lentils (the brown ones) it makes the mince go further and the recipe (per portion) come down in calories. You dont notice much difference in flavour
