    List of Ingredients

    Trying to figure out how many ounce of ground beef in a cup? That's going to be hard, because of the size of the meat crumbles. Larger crumbles will yield less cups than fine crumbles.

    1 lb (16-oz) of raw 95% lean ground beef will cook down to
    12-oz cooked,
    1/2 cup will weigh 2-oz (cooked)


    GROUND Beef:
    4-oz raw, 3-oz cooked
    (90% lean or leaner 3 1/2-oz raw = 3-oz cooked)
    cooked (calories/fat)= pts
    no fiber in meat

    Ground Beef - 73% Lean, 27% Fat
    Ground Chuck - 80% Lean, 20% Fat
    Ground Sirloin - 85% Lean, 15% Fat
    Ground Round - 90% Lean, 10 % Fat

    Beef, 75% lean 3-oz (235/15) = 6 pts
    Beef, 75% lean 1-lb (1253/80 = 31.5 pts
    Beef, 80% lean 3-oz (231/15) = 6 pts
    Beef, 80% lean 1-lb (1232/80) = 31.5 pts
    Beef, 85% lean 3-oz (218/13) = 5.5 pts
    Beef, 85% lean 1-lb (1162/69) = 29 pts
    Beef, 90% lean 3-oz (196/10) = 5 pts
    Beef, 90% lean 1-lb (1045/53) = 25.5 pts
    Beef, 93% lean 3-oz (180/7.5) = 4.5 pts
    Beef, 93% lean 1-lb (932/42) = 22 pts
    Beef, 95% lean 3-oz (164/6) = 4 pts
    Beef, 95% lean 1-lb (874/31)= 20 pts
    Beef, 96% lean 3-oz (140/4.5)= 3.5 pts
    Beef, 96% lean 1-lb (746.6/25.5)= 17 pts
    Beef, Healthy Choice 97% lean 3-oz (131/4)= 3 pts
    Beef, Healthy Choice 97% lean 1-lb (523/16.1)= 12 pts
    Premade frozen patties,
    Beef 75% lean 3-oz (240/20)= 6.5 pts
    Chuck 83% lean 3-oz (240/16.)= 6 pts
    Sirloin 90% lean 3-oz (199/12.3)= 5 pts

    Ground Poultry:
    (breats grind only 3 1/2-oz raw = 3-oz cooked)
    Chicken, regular grind 3-oz(218/13) = 5.5 pts
    Chicken, regular grind 1-lb(1162.6/69.3)= 29 pts
    Chicken, breast only grind 3-oz(140/3) = 3 pts
    Chicken, breast only grind, 1-lb(746.6/16)= 16.5 pts
    Turkey, regular grind 3-oz(200/11) = 5 pts
    Turkey, regular grind 1-lb(1066.6/58.6)= 26 pts
    Turkey, breast only grind 3-oz(115/1) = 2 pts

    Ground Venison, 3-oz (1597) = 4 pts
    Ground Buffalo, 3-oz (202/130 = 5 pts

    Rinsing ground meats to reduce the fat:
    Source: American Institute for Cancer Research


    The original fat level in ground meat makes a difference in the amount of fat that can be removed from it. With each reduction from regular ground beef to 20% fat, 15% fat and 10% fat, the content of a three-ounce portion is reduced by 3 grams. The leaner the meat, the smaller the effect that draining and rinsing can have on the meat's fat content. Blotting a burger on paper towels (30 seconds on each side) can generally lower the fat by about 1 or 2 grams, while the fat content of drained crumbled meat (as for chili or pasta sauces) may drop by 4 or more grams. When you rinse crumbled ground beef in a fine strainer or colander, you can further reduce fat content in each three-ounce portion by at least 4 or 5 more grams. While draining and rinsing beef can dramatically affect the amount of fat it contains, studies show that protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B-12 content is not significantly affected.
