Ground beef, 93% lean and 7% fat, cooked and drained
An extra-lean ground-beef option that provides protein with less fat than standard ground beef and may be easier to tolerate in a moderate portion.
Why it received this rating
Ground beef that is 93% lean provides protein with relatively little fat. Draining any rendered fat and keeping the meal simple may reduce the chance that it feels overly heavy.
Portion and preparation guidance
Begin with approximately 3 to 4 ounces cooked. Drain any visible fat and use it in a simple bowl, taco, soup, or meat sauce with lighter toppings.
Symptoms or considerations
Large portions, heavy cheese, creamy sauces, or greasy preparation may still increase fullness or reflux.
