About Ground beef one serving
Ground beef is a versatile and widely-used ingredient, originating from cuisines across the globe, including American, Mexican, and Italian dishes. One serving, approximately 4 ounces of 85% lean ground beef, typically contains 240 calories, 22 grams of protein, and 17 grams of fat, with 7 grams being saturated fat. It is rich in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support red blood cell formation, immunity, and energy metabolism. Ground beef is an excellent source of protein, aiding muscle growth and repair, but its fat content—especially saturated fat—can contribute to higher cholesterol levels if consumed excessively. To maximize health benefits, opt for leaner versions and pair with nutrient-dense accompaniments like vegetables and whole grains. Ground beef’s flavor and adaptability make it a staple in comfort foods such as burgers, chili, and pasta sauces, balancing indulgence with nutritional value.
