Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For ground turkey (93% lean, cooked) the split is:
- Protein: 27.1 g × 4 = 108 kcal — 51% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 0 g × 4 = 0 kcal — 0% of calories
- Fat: 11.6 g × 9 = 104 kcal — 49% of calories
- Most of the energy in ground turkey (93% lean, cooked) comes from protein (51% of calories).
- With 27.1 g of protein per 100 g it counts as a high-protein food.
- That is 12.7 g of protein per 100 kcal — a useful number when protein is your target.
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 95 g.
What actually changes the number
93% lean ground turkey cooks to about 213 kcal per 100 g — very close to 90% lean beef, not the "diet" alternative many assume. Look for 99% lean breast mince if the calories are the point.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of ground turkey as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
