In Summary - Healthy or Unhealthy Choice?
Protein is exceptional, close to 30 grams. Sodium content is almost 900 milligrams which can pose health issues for some individuals, particularly those with heart issues or high blood pressure.
Almost all burgers prepared with ground beef are going to contain a lot of calories and a lot of fat, cholesterol and salt. A better option is to purchase extra lean ground beef at the market and prepare at home on the grill. Your bathroom scales and your arteries will thank you....
