Is lean beef good for meal planning?

Fat percentage matters more than cut. 5% fat mince and lean steak land close to chicken in calories per gram of protein.

Cooking method and added fats change totals quickly. Pan-frying in oil or butter can add 100+ kcal per serving.

How to use lean beef in a meal plan

  • Steak with potatoes and salad
  • Lean mince in a chilli or bolognese
  • Beef stir-fry with vegetables and rice
  • Meatballs baked, not fried

Frequently asked questions

+How much protein in lean beef?
Roughly 26 g per 100 g cooked for 5% fat mince or a lean cut.
+Is beef bad for weight loss?
Not at all — lean beef is high in protein and iron. The fattier cuts are higher calorie, so pick by fat % to manage totals.
+Are calories the same for raw and cooked beef?
No. Cooked weighs less because water and fat have cooked off. Track raw or cooked using the matching value.

No. They are widely-accepted estimates for a typical portion. Exact calories vary by brand, ripeness, cut, preparation method and portion size. Use the value on your packet when you have one.
