Ground Beef (93/7 lean): Protein, Calories & Full Nutrition Breakdown

Why Ground Beef (93/7 lean) shows up in protein-forward diets

The 93/7 blend sits at the sweet spot most macro trackers use: dense enough in protein to hit numbers, lean enough that fat calories don't quietly double your total.

Serving-size math

A 1/4 lb cooked (113g) portion delivers 24.9g of protein and roughly 172 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 14.47g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.

Prep tip

Drain after browning even at 93/7 — the rendered fat left in the pan is still ~15-20g you'd otherwise eat.
