Beef??

Why is it that 100grams of beef of different cuts are so different one to the next, was looking at different cuts on MFP and they differ from 98cals p/100grams to 350cals p/100grams?

I understand there is the fat factor in the meat but should it really differ THAT much?

    Yes. Some cuts are much much fattier than other cuts.

    Beef cuts do vary massively. Also be careful of the database as there are a lot of inaccurate entries. Go by the packet (if your meat is pre packed) or visit the USDA website and find the values, then find a similar entry in MFP
