Best Answer

It varies by the amount of fat in the many different grades of meat used for grinding.

By regulation, the MacDonald beef patty is allowed to have 33% fat content. The searing of the patty during frying, at the restaurant, ensures that most of this fat stays inside during cooking, adding to the delicious flavour and to the calorie count BIG-TIME.

Searing is sealing in the meat juices and the fat.

Frying even the cheapest cuts of meat at home, without searing the meat, allows you to drain off the fat, reducing the calories consumed considerably. Thus home cooking is very healthy cooking.

I shape extra-large raw patties at home, since the fat drained away, reduces the size of the cooked patties substantially.
