Beef patty calories come to 230 for one broiled 85 g patty and 270 per 100 g. Fat supplies 61% of those calories and protein the other 39%, with 0 g of carbs. That means the size of the patty and the leanness of the beef decide your total, not the bun.

The large patty jumps to 305 calories
A standard broiled patty weighs 85 g and lands at 230 calories, about 11% of the daily value for calories. Step up to a large 113 g patty and the count climbs to 305, or 15% of the day. The difference is a few extra bites of meat, yet it adds as much as a small snack.
Stacking is where totals run away. Two standard patties come to 459 calories, three reach 689, and five hit 1,148. Protein scales just as fast: 43.8 g for two patties and 65.7 g for three. A double burger is a real meal before you count the bun, cheese or sauce.
If you cook at home, weigh one portion once and you will know which row you are eating from then on. When nobody tells you the weight, use 305 for a thick patty and 230 for a thinner one. Guessing low is the most common way patty calories slip past a food log.
Fat supplies 61% of the calories
Per 100 g a broiled patty carries 25.8 g of protein, 17.8 g of fat and 0 g of carbs. Fat packs more energy per gram than protein, so it ends up supplying 61% of the calories while protein covers 39%. There is no sugar and no fiber in the meat itself.
That split explains why leanness moves the number so much. A leaner patty of the same 85 g weight drops to 184 calories with 10 g of fat, yet its protein holds at 22.2 g, slightly more than the 21.9 g in the standard patty. You give up fat, not protein. For anyone trimming calories, that is the cleanest swap on the page.
Protein is the strong suit either way. The standard patty delivers 44% of the daily value for protein in one serving, and the large patty reaches 58%. That is a big share of a day's protein from a single piece of meat with no carbs attached.
Saturated fat, not sodium, is the row to watch
Plain ground beef is low in sodium. One patty has 64 mg, just 3% of the daily value, and even the large patty stays at 85 mg. Any real sodium load in a burger comes from seasoning, cheese, the bun and sauces, so check those labels instead of the meat.
Saturated fat is the number that stands out. Each 100 g holds 6.8 g of it against a daily value of 20 g, and cholesterol sits at 88 mg per 100 g against a daily value of 300 mg. If you track either one, the leaner patty is the easier fit, since it carries 10 g of total fat per patty instead of 15.1 g.
Potassium is a quiet plus at 304 mg per 100 g. It is a modest contribution on its own, but it adds up when vegetables share the plate.
Build the plate around the patty, not the bun
A patty with no carbs leaves the rest of the plate open. Pair it with a big salad, roasted vegetables or a baked potato and you decide where the remaining calories come from. A bun, a slice of cheese and a squeeze of sauce each carry their own calories, so log them separately rather than folding them into a guess.
If calories are tight, the leaner patty at 184 is the simplest swap and keeps nearly all the protein. If you want staying power, one standard patty at 230 calories with 21.9 g of protein plus fiber-rich sides makes a solid base. Two patties make sense only when the rest of the meal stays light.
Packaged patties from brands such as Ball Park or JTM come in different sizes and fat levels, so read the weight on the box before you log one. BodyPal can also log a patty from a photo of your plate.
How does beef patty compare?
Here is how a broiled beef patty stacks up against a burger patty, the leanest ground beef on our list and a turkey sausage patty, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the fewest calories pick the lean ground beef: 192 per 100 g, about 0.7 times this patty, with 27 g of protein. Skip the turkey sausage patty if you watch sodium, since it carries 878 mg per 100 g against 75 mg here.

Frozen patties are labeled at raw weight, so they cook down to a lighter patty than the package serving suggests. Source: manufacturer labels / USDA FoodData Central.
