Sausage patty calories come to 88 for one 27 g patty, or 325 per 100 g of pan-fried pork sausage. Notice where they come from: fat supplies 75% of the energy, and a single patty already carries 220 mg of sodium, 10% of the daily value. The count of patties, not the patty itself, decides the total.

Two patties make a 176-calorie side
A typical pan-fried pork patty weighs 27 g and lands at 88 calories with 5 g of protein. That is just 4% of a 2000-calorie reference day, which sounds trivial. The catch is that almost nobody stops at one, and breakfast plates, biscuits and muffin sandwiches tend to stack them.
Watch how the total moves. Two patties come to 176 calories, 440 mg of sodium and 10 g of protein. Three reach 263 calories and 659 mg of sodium. Five, the kind of pile that happens at a buffet or a weekend fry-up, hit 439 calories, 1,099 mg of sodium and 25 g of protein. Each extra patty adds the same chunk, so the math is easy to do in your head.
Weight matters more than count. A 2 oz portion (57 g) is 185 calories, more than double the 27 g patty, and homemade or thick-cut patties often sit closer to that size than to the thin frozen ones. If your patties look generous, weigh one once and log by grams from then on. BodyPal can also log a plate of patties from a photo if you would rather skip the scale.
Fat is three quarters of every calorie
Per 100 g, a cooked pork patty holds 27.3 g of fat, 18.5 g of protein and only 1.4 g of carbs, with 0 g of fiber. In calorie terms that splits into 75% fat, 23% protein and 2% carbs. Sausage gets filed as a protein food on menus, but by energy it is mostly fat.
Saturated fat is 8.8 g per 100 g, measured against a daily value of 20 g. Cholesterol is 86 mg per 100 g, against a 300 mg daily value. Those are per 100 g figures, and one patty is roughly a quarter of that weight, so a single patty is a modest dent. Several patties are not.
Protein is real but small for the calories. One patty gives 5 g, 10% of the daily value, for 88 calories. The 2 oz portion gives 10.6 g, or 21%, for 185 calories. If protein per calorie is what you are after, treat the patty as the flavor on the plate and let leaner foods carry the protein load. Sugar is barely present at 0.3 g per patty, so carbs are not the issue here.
Sodium is the row to watch
At 814 mg per 100 g, sodium is the number that climbs fastest. One 27 g patty carries 220 mg, 10% of the daily value. The 2 oz portion carries 464 mg, or 20%, and a full 100 g serving reaches 35% of the day on its own.
Stacking is where it gets serious. Three patties bring 659 mg; five bring 1,099 mg. Put them on a biscuit or an English muffin with cheese and the breakfast can take a large slice of the daily sodium budget before lunch. The calories in that scenario stay moderate, which is why the salt is easy to miss.
Potassium is modest at 342 mg per 100 g, against a 4700 mg daily value. If you watch sodium, cap the count at one or two patties and fill the rest of the plate with unsalted foods such as fruit, plain eggs or oatmeal. That keeps the savory hit without letting the sausage set the tone for the whole day.
Turkey and pork patties trim fat, not sodium
The turkey and pork patty in the servings table weighs 25 g and comes in at 77 calories, against 88 for the 27 g all-pork patty. It holds 5.7 g of protein and 5.8 g of fat, compared with 5 g and 7.4 g for the pork version. Part of the gap is simply the smaller patty, but the blend is leaner too.
The sodium does not budge. Both list 220 mg, 10% of the daily value. So the blend trims some fat and nudges protein up to 11% of the daily value, but it is not a lower-salt choice. If sodium is your concern, the label matters more than the meat.
Store brands vary as well. Fully cooked options such as Daily's Pork Sausage Patty or Club Pack Fully Cooked and Browned Sausage Patty, poultry-leaning picks like Butterball Breakfast Sausage Patty, and flavored ones like Lowes Foods Sausage Works The Maple Sweetie each carry their own label numbers, listed in the brand table on this page. Flavored versions can differ in sugar, while the plain pork patty has just 0.3 g.
How does sausage patty compare?
Here is how a sausage patty stacks up against a pork sausage link, Jimmy Dean sausage and bratwurst, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: The pork sausage link and Jimmy Dean sausage match the patty exactly at 325 calories and 18.5 g of protein per 100 g, so choose by shape and portion size, not by type. Skip bratwurst if protein is the goal: it has 333 calories but only 13.7 g of protein, plus more sodium at 846 mg per 100 g.
