Tenderloin steak calories come to 382 for one 140 g steak and 273 per 100 g, broiled with its trim of fat. Watch the fat line. It supplies 60 percent of the calories, so cutting the meat back to lean only drops a 3 oz portion from 232 calories to 175.

One steak is a 382-calorie plate
The default serving here is a 140 g steak. It comes to 382 calories, 37 g of protein and 24.9 g of fat. That single cut covers 19 percent of the daily calorie value and 74 percent of the protein value.
Smaller portions move the total fast. A 3 oz portion (85 g) is 232 calories with 22.5 g of protein, a handy reference size if you portion meat before cooking. Weigh your usual cut once and you will know which row to log from then on.
Multiples climb just as quickly. Two steaks reach 764 calories and 74 g of protein, three reach 1,147 calories, and five reach 1,911. If you are cooking for a table, those are the totals to split across the plates, not the number for one person.
Fat supplies 60 percent of the calories
Per 100 g, broiled tenderloin with its fat carries 26.4 g of protein, 17.8 g of fat and no carbohydrate at all. The calorie split is 40 percent protein and 60 percent fat. There is no sugar and no fiber, so every calorie traces back to those two macros.
That split surprises people who think of tenderloin as the lean cut. The USDA row behind these numbers is choice grade, trimmed to 1/8 inch of fat, and that rim does real work on the total. Tender does not mean light.
Protein is still strong. At 26.4 g per 100 g it holds its own, and a full steak alone covers 74 percent of the protein daily value. The issue is not too little protein. It is the fat that rides along with it.
Lean only drops a 3 oz portion to 175
The biggest lever is the knife. A 3 oz portion of lean only comes to 175 calories and 7.7 g of fat, against 232 calories and 15.1 g of fat with the trim left on. Protein even ticks up, to 24.7 g from 22.5 g, because the same 85 g is now all lean meat.
If you track closely, cut away the visible fat on your plate and log the lean-only row. That one change takes the portion from 12 percent of the daily calorie value to 9 percent. Few swaps are this easy.
Saturated fat follows the trim. Per 100 g with fat left on, it reads 7 g against a daily value of 20 g, and cholesterol is 99 mg against 300 mg. Sodium is a non-issue: a whole steak has only 73 mg, 3 percent of the daily value, before you salt it.
A carb-free steak lets the sides decide
Because tenderloin has 0 g of carbohydrate and 0 g of fiber, the sides decide what the meal looks like. Vegetables and a starch bring the fiber the steak lacks, and they set most of the remaining calorie count.
If calories are tight, a 3 oz portion leaves more room for sides than a full steak does. Sauces matter too. Butter basting or a cream sauce stacks more fat on top of the 60 percent the meat already carries, while a simple pan jus keeps the plate close to the steak's own numbers.
Salt is the other thing you add at the stove. The meat starts at just 52 mg of sodium per 100 g, so seasoning and sauces, not the beef, set the sodium total. BodyPal can log the steak and its sides from a single photo.
How does tenderloin steak compare?
Here is how tenderloin stacks up against sirloin, T-bone and flat iron steak, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For weight loss pick T-bone at 198 calories per 100 g or sirloin at 212, both well under tenderloin's 273. For the most protein per bite pick sirloin with 29.3 g, and save tenderloin for nights when tenderness matters more than the calorie count.
