How many calories are in a Bubba Burger?
One Original BUBBA burger patty, the 1/3 lb size that comes six to a box, is 420 calories. Per 100 g the frozen patty runs 278 calories. There is no filler and no breadcrumb in it, so every one of those calories arrives as 35 g of fat and 25 g of protein.
You'd need to walk about 84 minutes to burn the 420 calories in one 1/3 lb patty (151 g).

Bubba Burger quick facts
The row used here is the branded one, not a generic beef entry: USDA FoodData Central 2622890, "ORIGINAL GLUTEN FREE BURGERS", filed by Hickory Foods under GTIN 0704639940040. That matters, because the person searching this is holding a specific frozen patty, and the manufacturer's label declares its own serving: one burger, 151 g, which is the 1/3 lb the box advertises. Generic ground-beef records answer a different question, and they show up further down for comparison rather than in this table.
A few label rows are simply absent from the branded record. USDA lists no dietary fiber, no added sugars, no trans fat and no potassium for this product, so those rows are left out instead of being filled in from a lookalike. For unseasoned 100% chuck that is unsurprising: fiber and added sugars would both be zero anyway.

The sodium number is the one people misread. At 85 mg a patty, this is one of the least salty things in a burger dinner, because the beef is ground and pressed without seasoning. That is well under a tenth of a teaspoon of table salt. Almost all the sodium in your finished burger will come from the bun, the cheese, the pickles and whatever you shake on at the grill.
Servings from one ounce to two patties
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 79 kcal |
| Half a patty | 76 g | 210 kcal |
| One quarter-pound patty, 4 oz | 113 g | 314 kcal |
| One burger, 1/3 lb as sold | 151 g | 420 kcal |
| Two burgers | 302 g | 840 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 278 kcal |
Only the 151 g line is a USDA serving. The ounce, the half patty, the 4 oz quarter-pounder and the two-patty line are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, scaled straight off 278 calories per 100 g.
The quarter-pound row is worth a second look. Most burger math in the US is done in quarter-pounds, but this patty is a third of a pound, so a mental "quarter-pounder" undercounts it by about 106 calories every time. Two of them on one bun, the way people build a double at a cookout, is 840 calories of beef before anything else touches the plate.
Every BUBBA burger variety by the numbers
Six varieties carry their own USDA branded records, and they are not small variations on each other. The spread from turkey to Angus is 115 calories per 100 g.
| Variety | Per 100 g | Label serving | Calories | Protein | Saturated fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original 100% chuck | 278 kcal | 1 burger (151 g) | 420 kcal | 25.0 g | 15.0 g |
| Angus | 285 kcal | 1 burger (151 g) | 430 kcal | 26.0 g | 15.0 g |
| Wagyu | 232 kcal | 1 patty (151 g) | 350 kcal | 30.0 g | 9.0 g |
| Beef chuck sliders | 271 kcal | 1 burger (85 g) | 230 kcal | 15.0 g | 8.0 g |
| Grass-fed | 214 kcal | 1 burger (112 g) | 240 kcal | 21.0 g | 8.0 g |
| Turkey | 170 kcal | 1 burger (112 g) | 190 kcal | 22.0 g | 2.5 g |
The Angus is the densest of the six at 285 calories per 100 g, but it beats the Original by only 10 calories a patty, and its fat and saturated fat land on exactly the same numbers. If you switched for a leaner dinner, you switched for nothing.
The Wagyu is the surprise. Wagyu reads as the indulgent choice, yet this record runs leaner than the Original at 232 calories per 100 g, second only to the grass-fed patty at 214, and it delivers the most protein of any patty here: 30 g. Against the Original that is 70 calories less and 5 g more protein, from the same 151 g of meat.
Sliders are the trap. Each 85 g slider is 230 calories, which sounds modest, but nobody eats one. Two sliders weigh 170 g and come to 461 calories, more than a whole 1/3 lb Original at 420, and they bring 16 g of saturated fat against the Original's 15 g. Two small buns instead of one adds to that.
The turkey patty is the only one that changes the sodium picture. At 190 calories and 2.5 g of saturated fat it is the lightest thing in the range, but it is seasoned with kosher salt, so one 112 g patty carries about 280 mg of sodium against 85 mg in the beef Original. That is still around 12% of a day's Daily Value, so it is not a problem row, just a reversal of the usual assumption that the beef is the salty one.
Saturated fat is the row to watch
Calories are not what stands out on this label. Saturated fat is. One Original patty is 15 g, which is 75% of the FDA Daily Value of 20 g, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans put the ceiling at under 10% of daily calories, which is the same neighborhood. You reach three quarters of that from the beef alone, before the bun, before a slice of American cheese, before the two strips of bacon in the photo at the top of this page.
Cholesterol runs 110 mg a patty, 37% of the Daily Value. Protein is the counterweight and it is a real one: 25 g in a single patty, half a day's Daily Value, which is why a plain grilled patty with no bun is a genuinely filling 420 calories rather than an empty one.
If you are watching saturated fat specifically, the grass-fed patty at 8 g and the turkey patty at 2.5 g are the two picks that move the number meaningfully. If you are watching calories but want the protein, the Wagyu record is the efficient choice at 350 calories for 30 g. Dropping to half a patty to save calories works on paper (210 calories) but rarely survives a cookout.
Raw label weight versus what comes off the grill
The 151 g on the box is frozen, raw weight. Every USDA cooked ground-beef record weighs less than its raw starting point, because water evaporates and fat drips through the grate, and that is why the cooked 80/20 patty record shows 25.75 g of protein per 100 g while this raw patty shows 16.56 g. Nothing was added; the cooked meat is simply more concentrated per gram.
USDA does not publish a cooked figure for this branded patty, so there is no honest number to swap in. Log the 420 as it is. Comparing a raw label to a cooked USDA record gram for gram is the single most common error people make with frozen patties, and it runs in both directions: 100 g of this raw patty is not the same food as 100 g of a broiled one.
How does a Bubba Burger compare?
| Item | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUBBA burger Original | 278 kcal | 1 burger, 151 g | 420 kcal |
| Ground beef 80/20 patty, cooked | 270 kcal | 3 oz, 85 g | 230 kcal |
| Ground beef patty, cooked | 272 kcal | 1 medium patty, 85 g | 231 kcal |
| Hamburger on a white bun, 1 large patty | 289 kcal | 1 hamburger, 175 g | 506 kcal |
Our take: per gram this patty is ordinary beef, sitting between the two cooked ground-beef records at 270 and 272 and the assembled hamburger at 289. What makes it a 420-calorie item is size, not richness — 151 g against the 85 g patty most USDA records assume. The one column where it genuinely wins is sodium: 56 mg per 100 g against 383 mg in the FNDDS cooked patty, almost seven times less, because that record is salted and this one is not. Build the burger on that patty and the assembled version lands close to the 506-calorie USDA hamburger, and past it once cheese goes on.

Bubba Burger FAQs
How many calories are in one Bubba Burger?
One Original BUBBA burger patty carries 420 calories. That is the 1/3 lb (151 g) frozen patty as sold, which works out to 278 calories per 100 g. The patty is 100% chuck beef, so all 420 come from 35 g of fat and 25 g of protein, with zero carbohydrate.
How much protein is in a Bubba Burger?
25 g of protein in one Original patty, which is 50% of the FDA Daily Value. Per 100 g the raw patty holds 16.56 g. The Wagyu patty is the protein leader at 30 g per 151 g patty, and the turkey burger gives 22 g in a smaller 112 g patty.
How many calories in a Bubba Burger with a bun and cheese?
The patty alone is 420 calories, and USDA's closest assembled record, a hamburger on a white bun with one large patty, is 506 calories for 175 g. USDA publishes no cheese-added figure for this branded patty, so add your slice separately rather than guessing a combined total.
Are Bubba Burgers healthy?
One patty delivers 25 g of protein for 420 calories, but also 15 g of saturated fat, 75% of a day's Daily Value. Sodium is unusually low at 85 mg, because the beef is unsalted. If saturated fat is your concern, the grass-fed or turkey patty is the better pick.
Bubba Burger vs Angus Bubba Burger: which has more calories?
Angus wins by 10 calories: 430 per 151 g patty against 420 for the Original. Per 100 g it is 285 against 278. Fat and saturated fat are identical at 35 g and 15 g per patty; the Angus adds about 1 g more protein and a trace of carbohydrate.
How many calories in a Bubba turkey burger?
190 calories in one 112 g turkey patty, the lightest burger in the range at 170 calories per 100 g. It brings 22 g of protein and only 2.5 g of saturated fat. The trade-off is sodium: 280 mg per patty against 85 mg in the beef Original, because it is seasoned with kosher salt.
How many calories in two Bubba Burger sliders?
Two slider patties come to 461 calories, more than the single 1/3 lb Original at 420, even though each slider looks like half a burger. Each 85 g slider is 230 calories at 271 per 100 g. Two of them also carry 16 g of saturated fat, 80% of a Daily Value.
Do Bubba Burgers lose calories when grilled?
The 420 calories on the label apply to the raw 151 g patty, and USDA publishes no cooked figure for this record. Grilling drives off water and drips some fat, so the cooked patty weighs less and may carry slightly fewer calories, but there is no published number to log instead.
