Lean Ground Beef%

[Alphatier]

So I bought Lean Ground Beef cuuz it was on special, but there wasn't a percentage listed(lean/fat). So what is the percentage usually, if there's one. I'm just gonna give it to a friend or something, I don't eat anything I don't know the macros of. Also, is there less fat if you GRILL it?

I used to work in 2 different meat shops, and the general rule was regular ground beef was 75-85% lean, LEAN ground beef was 85-95%, extra lean was usually 95% on the dot.

so that means it's between 15-5% fat, if my theory is remotely true in your case.

Wish I had that kind of disposable income bro!

Thanks for the imforation bro. What I'm gonna do is that, since I have 3 meals including this meat, I'll account for the first meal that the beef is 85% lean, 90% for the other two meals. Today is my carb-up day, so I consume more cals than I usually would, that's why it's not too dramatic.

Yeah I hear bro, I've been in times where it was hard for me to have a good diet, because my budget was so limited....

smash it all up and Boil it...it cuts the fat around half...then rinse it under hot water in a strainer.

I always mash boiled cauliflower and add peas/crisp corn to it once its done & slide it in the oven......pretty good 'faux' sheppards pie.

Yeah I usually do it like you do, but today the weather out was nice, and my parents light up the grill and grilled my beef. You think grilling helps with the fat too?

Does this really do anything near cutting half the fat?

[Rob]

If you just think about the logistics of fat melting points and solubility's.... Any animal fat is going to have a high melting point, for example.. 60 degrees ---- which means its a solid @ room temperature. Raising the heat is gonna cause it to melt and become a liquid.. So if you're boiling it -- it's gonna dissociate from the 'meat' part and float around in the water

Once it's been boiling for a while....throw it under hot water(to keep the fat from solidifying) in a strainer and it rinses away.

Evidently - my word isn't good enough. Maybe this will put you more at ease.
