Ground Beef 80/20 vs Ground Beef 90/10: Nutrition Comparison

Ground beef 80/20 and 90/10 refer to the lean-to-fat ratio of the meat — 80/20 contains 20% fat while 90/10 contains only 10%. The calorie and fat difference between them is significant per serving. 80/20 ground beef produces juicier, more flavourful burgers and meatballs due to its higher fat content, which also bastes the meat during cooking. 90/10 ground beef is leaner, lower in calories and saturated fat, making it a better everyday choice for those managing fat intake. For best burgers and meatloaf flavour, 80/20 is the preferred choice among many cooks. For everyday tacos, pasta sauces, and meal prep, 90/10 is the more diet-friendly option.
