Preparation
Pan-browned 80% mince is 246 kcal per 100 g, below the 270 of the same mince broiled — and the reason is where the fat ends up. Broiling drips it away through a rack; pan-browning renders it into the pan, where crumbles sit in it until they are lifted out. USDA's figure is the crumbles as lifted, not the pan. If you pour the fat back over, this row no longer describes what you ate.
Logging this food
A 3 oz portion is 85 g and 209 kcal. For mince stirred into a sauce, weighing after cooking is rarely possible — weigh the raw packet and use the raw row at 254 instead. This row is for the times you can weigh the crumbles themselves, which usually means taco filling or a bowl rather than a bolognese.
Swaps and alternatives
Draining is the free saving here and it is a real one: the gap between this row and the broiled one is 24 kcal per 100 g, and that is fat you can pour away. Buying leaner is bigger — pan-browned 95% is 164 against this row's 246, which is a third of the calories gone for the same weight of meat.
