How many calories are in 5 ounces of Angus beef? Is it different than other types of beef?

Answer by  t123 (520)

There are about 300 calories in 5 ounces of Angus beef. "Angus" refers to a type of cattle, but just because something is labeled "Angus beef" doesn't necessarily mean anything. However, "certified Angus beef" must meet strict qualifications like marbling, age, color, and tenderness. In addition, Angus beef tends to be fattier and more marbled.

There are 350 calories in a patty of Angus beef. There are about 280 calories in a regular beef patty. Angus meat seems to have more calories, more fat and more sodium.

5 ounces of Angus beef, or top sirloin, is about 245 calories. The number of calories is dependent upon the amount of fat, so an Angus beef patty of 5 ounces is closer to 320 calories. Fat has 9 calories per gram, so the less fat, the fewer calories. Sirloin has less fat than cheaper cuts or ground beef.
