Preparation
At 176 kcal per 100 g with 10 g of fat, 90% lean is where mince starts behaving like a lean meat: 20 g of protein per 100 g, and 11.4 g of protein for every 100 kcal, against 6.8 in the 80% row. It also shrinks less in the pan than the fattier levels, because there is less fat to render out — the weight it loses is mostly water.
Logging this food
A 4 oz portion is 113 g raw and 199 kcal, which is close to a quarter-pound patty before cooking. Weigh the packet rather than the pan wherever you can. If you brown it and drain, you are somewhere below the cooked row of 217 and there is no way to say exactly where — a small honest uncertainty is better than a precise wrong number.
Swaps and alternatives
95% lean is 137 kcal per 100 g against this row's 176, and 21.4 g of protein against 20. Going the other way, 85% is 215. Ground turkey at 93% lean is 150, and raw ground chicken 143 — both leaner than this on paper, though neither browns the same way.
