Finding calories from unlabelled food?

vicky1804

Hi,
Hoping someone can help, got 2 nice piece's of frying steak for tea tonight but it's just dawned on me, its not labelled so i'm not sure of the calorie content.

Iv checked the database and its not listed. Can anyone give me an idea of the calories for bog standard frying steak please?

Thank you

Rule of thumb calculation for steak calories per serve is roughly 170 calories per 100 grams.

Calories in steak is based on a 3.5 ounce serving or 100 grams. Calories are approximate and can alter with fat marbling of the meat. Frying in fat will add lots of calories. You should grill meat and trim fat from the cut.

Please remember that a good size steak is usually around 450 grams, so if you have a big steak, multiply the calories consumed accordingly. Alarmingly a big steak (450 grams) comes out at 750 calories, so remember to take that into account when eating.

Fillet Steak (grilled) 210 calories per 3.5 ounces / 100 grams
T-Bone Steak 182 Calories per 3.5 ounces / 100 grams
Sirloin Steak lean 166 Calories per 3.5 ounces / 100 grams
Rump Steak with fat (grilled) 220 Calories per 3.5 ounces / 100 grams
Rump Steak with fat (fried) 250 Calories per 3.5 ounces / 100 grams
Rump Steak lean only (grilled) 170 Calories per 3.5 ounces / 100 grams

Weigh it

Tavistock toad - Of course I will weigh it but not knowing its calorie value means weighing it gets me no further

Ravenchick - Thank you for that, it helps a lot. I am planning to remove the fat a grill it as i rarely fry anything these days
