Burger, beef, low fat, raw

This entry describes a low-fat beef burger in its raw form, based on samples of chilled and frozen products. It mainly provides protein and fat, with very little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 18g of protein and 9.5g of fat, including 4.4g of saturated fat. It also contains 1.6g of salt.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Beef burgers also provide iron, which is needed to make haemoglobin in red blood cells, and vitamin B12, which supports normal nerve function. Despite the low-fat description, the saturated fat and salt content remain relevant for people monitoring their intake. These figures apply to the raw product; cooking can change nutrient concentrations through water and fat loss. Full figures are in the tables below.
