About This Food

A beef patty, commonly found in burgers around the world, is a flattened, usually circular, portion of ground beef. The calories in a typical beef patty is 197.2. It provides a substantial amount of protein, essential for muscle building and repair, and is a good source of iron, which is important for carrying oxygen in the blood. It also contains zinc, crucial for immune function. However, it can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, so moderation is key. Beef patties aren't always ideal for people with heart conditions due to their fat content. A reasonable portion size is typically one patty per day, depending on your overall dietary needs. Regular consumption, especially of higher-fat patties, can be neutral to weight management or contribute to weight gain if calorie intake exceeds expenditure. For a lower-fat option, consider leaner ground beef.
